This feature works best when a provider has multiple appointment or visit purposes with different time schedules and different numbers of allowed appointments per time block. For example - set the Max Appointment per Time Block to 5 for the provider and set the corresponding visit purposes to 1 and 5 as shown below.
1 new patient is allowed at each of the following times on Mondays:
9:15AM
10:30AM
3:00PM
4:15PM
5 existing patients are allowed per 15 minute block on Mondays between:
8:00AM - 9:15AM
9:45AM - 10:30AM
3:30PM - 4:15PM
4:45PM - 6:00PM
Consider using the Standalone feature if you need to schedule new patients at the same time as existing patients with the same provider.
