Creating or Assigning a Case from the Scheduler

Each appointment must be linked to a case. A case can be created or assigned from multiple locations in the system, including the Scheduler, Charge Entry screen, or Patient Demographics. This section explains how to create or assign a case directly from the Scheduler.

1. To view the Appointment Scheduler window, click the Scheduler module. The Appointment Scheduler window will be displayed as in Image 1.
