Which CHCS option is used to reserve appointment slots in existing schedules for processing
Wait List requests, or to release them from the Wait List reserved status?
The Wait List Hold/Release Schedules option.
List and briefly describe the three actions that can be performed from the Wait List action bar.
(1). Interactive: This action processes Wait List requests manually, notifying the patient either by
telephone that an appointment is available, or by mail that an appointment has been booked,
(2). Automatic Wait List: This action permits the system to process current Wait List requests for the
clinic/provider, book the schedule time slot on the schedule, and automatically generate the
notification mailer.
(3). Quit: The Quit action is selected if the reserved Wait List slots are not to be processed at this time.
Using this option, slots will not be displayed
during appointment searches (except in
