Hero Health - EMIS Web Support Guide

Can you merge appointment slots in the EMIS Web appointment book?

Yes, you can merge appointment slots in EMIS Web. Simply hold the SHIFT key to highlight the consecutive slots you want to merge, then right-click, point to Slot Actions and select Merge Slots. This combines them into one longer slot, ideal for consultations that may require extended time.

Merging can be a timesaver for staff managing complex cases – allocate extra consultation time quickly without rearranging the entire schedule.

If the appointment is cancelled, you can unmerge the slots so that they revert to their original duration.
