Say hello to our latest game-changing enhancement, which has made linking appointments smoother than ever!

The new 'Link Appointment' button is designed to streamline your workflow and will be rolling out across all sites over the coming weeks.

This small but mighty button (which looks like a small link or chain 🔗) is found on the patient's chart screen. It is located on the right side of the screen, next to each appointment. See below 👇

This new button aims to simplify the process of linking appointments, meaning streamlined workflows for both reception and clinical users!

You may be asking yourself...

Why is linking appointments so important in Dentally?

Linking appointments is not only the best practice when it comes to housekeeping but it also has a host of other benefits, such as:

  • Clarity for clinical users: ensures practitioners have a clear view of completed and/or pending service items within a treatment plan.
  • Clarity for administrative staff: provides administrative staff with clear information on requested appointments, facilitating smoother booking workflows.
  • Visibility of scheduled work: allows for a better understanding of work that is already in the diary vs appointments that still need booking for the patient.
  • Accurate private forecasting: helps ensure precise forecasting for private practice revenue.

How have we improved your workflows?

With this improved feature, users can now click the 'Link Appointment' button directly on the patient chart to access a list of suitable calendar appointments, eliminating the need for navigating between tabs.

We understand that managing appointments has been somewhat of a complex task in the past. However, this enhancement is here to revolutionise those workflows.

We have built this to offer you new ways to quickly and effortlessly link your appointments directly from the chart, contributing to smoother practice operations for you and your colleagues.

Don't worry if you cant see this button just yet, this feature is being slowly released across sites worldwide over the coming weeks and it will be with you soon!

You can use the red 'Give Feedback' at the bottom of the chart screen to let us know what you think of the new way to link appointments.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!
