An appointment slot report in EMIS Web is a tool used to create aggregate reports based on the appointment slots available in your practice. These reports help healthcare providers and administrators analyse past, present, and future appointment data, enabling them to optimise clinic schedules and resource allocation.

Creating an Appointment Slot Report

To generate an appointment slot report, begin by accessing the Appointment Reporting feature. Navigate to Appointments via the EMIS Web menu, and select Appointment Reporting. Choose a folder in the navigation pane to store your report, then proceed to add a new Slot Report from the ribbon.

Configure Report Settings

When setting up your report, you'll have to complete the following sections:

  • Properties: Define a name and description for your report.
  • Filter Data: Determine the main content of your report by selecting filters. You can filter by date, time, slot type, clinician, and more.
  • Report Format: Customize the rows and columns, and decide how the data should be displayed (e.g., counts, percentages).
  • Schedule: Set up a schedule if you wish to run the report regularly, though this step is optional.

Utilising Appointment Slot Reports

This functionality is particularly beneficial for practice managers who need to assess the distribution of appointments and identify any underutilized slots. By analysing this data, better decisions can be made regarding resource allocation and scheduling, ultimately improving patient care and staff efficiency.

Appointment slot reports are a powerful tool for understanding booking trends and optimizing resource allocation in busy practices.
