When you mark an appointment slot as urgent in EMIS Web, it stands out as a high-priority slot. This helps users easily find urgent or same-day appointments using the Find Slot function, where you can filter for Urgent only. It’s particularly useful if your practice receives last-minute or emergency requests that need prompt handling.
To mark a slot as urgent:
- In the Appointment Book, locate a free slot.
- Right-click and select Slot Properties.
- Tick Urgent (only visible for unbooked slots) and save.
This ensures staff can quickly identify and allocate crucial appointments without trawling through longer lists. It also helps prevent scheduling confusion, as Urgent slots can be included or excluded in appointment searches as needed.
