How does calendar management work for medical & dental?
Provider time off, CME, hospital rounds, on-call rotations and satellite clinic days are entered ahead and the affected appointment slots closed or moved, with patients rebooked and notified. The practice calendar also carries payer response deadlines, credentialing renewals, license and DEA expirations, equipment service dates and compliance training due dates. Meetings with drug reps, vendors and the billing team are booked around clinic time. The evening report shows tomorrow's schedule by provider with room assignments and any template exception, and the weekly view shows time off and blocks for the huddle.
