Waiting List : Overview

Easily keep track of patients awaiting availability.

You can add patients to the Waiting List and call them as appointments become available to ensure the patient is available for the date and time that has become available.

You can also book a patient from the Waiting List directly when cancelling an appointment.

Keep in mind the patient selected while in the cancellation popup will receive an appointment reminder it is not confirmation the patient opened the appointment reminder and knows they have booked from the waiting list.

We suggest you contact patients on the waiting directly to confirm with them they are able to attend to avoid no shows.
