Recurring Census Encounters

Overview

The Recurring Census Encounters feature allows users to schedule recurring encounters for patients directly from the Daily Census screen. Once scheduled, when a new census is created on the date on which a patient is scheduled, the patient will be automatically added to that census for any provider. A practice permission for this feature must be enabled by a DocNow Team Member for this feature to be accessed.

Feature Details

• When enabled for your Practice, a user permission becomes available and defaulted to enabled allowing users to schedule recurring encounters for patients directly from the Daily Census screen.
• A column named Recurring Encounter is added to the census which will add a drop down to each patient within the census that allows the provider to allow that patient to automatically be scheduled onto future census according to the timing set by the provider: e.g. Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly, Custom. 
• When a new census is created on the date on which a patient is scheduled, the patient will be automatically added to that census for any provider. 
• Any provider with a patient scheduled for the current date of service will receive a notification that the patient is schedule to be seen for that day. 
• A calendar icon within the Scheduled Status column is displayed to denote the patient was automatically added to the census as a result of recurring census scheduling.
