I had replied directly to Gail, but since you are asking, here is my reply to her. We are a MAGIC site. The other option that would work for this, if it is a frequently used type of occurrence, would be to make it an appointment set with the parameters described by Gail. ------------- Gail, I was able to schedule a series based on your example here by booking the initial appt. and answering yes to the book series question. At the series prompts, I chose the two days of the week that would be used for the 2x/week week of treatment, and booked 6 of them, to account for the 3 weeks of treatment. I then picked the day that would be the third day on the week that the patient was to receive 3x/week treatment, and booked 2 of them, and then finally booked the leftover day for the first week, to get the whole series in. It looked like this: Initial appointment: 1 (appt. type) (dur) 02/12/07 MON 0900 (location)
Frequency Day Time Qty Thru Date Every TR(Tues/Thur) 0900 6 Every FRI 0900 2 Every WED 0900 1 The series looks like:(Monday appt. booked initially) 02/13 Tue 02/14 Wed 02/15 Thu 02/16 Fri 02/20 Tue 02/22 Thu 02/23 Fri 02/27 Tue 03/01 Thu As you can see, this gives me a week of daily, a week of 3/wk, and a week of 2x/wk. If you want it to be the same therapist, you check Y on the Use same resource question, otherwise leave blank. I'd look at the resource group first, if I needed to see who was available for 8 weeks, but I don't use the pending appointments feature. Hope that helps.

I am trying to implement and cannot find an efficient way to negotiate screens quickly to search for the therapist who can see the patient for the first week every day, then 3x per week, then 2x per week. It would appear that the series routine would have to be used 3 times to accomplish this. Also, when processing pending appointments how do you quickly view the therapist who has the next 8 weeks open? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you. Gail M.
