Tracking Issues?

• Do you have multiple facilities? • Do you have rooms to count? • Do you have physicians wanting to sign in last minute?

We have those same issues daily and we created a report to give us a view of the whole week where each provider is and how many rooms are available at each location.

patients, they are seeing what they want to see • Happy patients – getting scheduled correctly the

first time • Happy Manager!
