A method and system are presented where a server (35) is able to handle a majority of the processing work in determining and booking available schedule appointments (130) between a patient's schedule and the schedules of the required resources (e.g., personnel, examination rooms, equipment, services, etc.). The server system includes local memory that stores a portion of patient and resource schedules from a database (37, 120, 122) and handles task requests from a client system (131). Because the majority of the processing work is done at the server, the bandwidth of the connection between the client and the server may be low (e.g., a 28.8 K modem), and the client does not necessarily need extensive memory and processing capabilities (e.g., a standard personal computer PDA). |
