Graphical computer system and method for appointment scheduling |
摘要 |
A computer program stored in a storage medium and a computer-implemented method for scheduling appointments for an office or business includes program code for displaying screen displays on a computer monitor, including a day view screen display (18) with a plurality of thermometer-style schedules (43) having a vertical bar graph (44) opposite a daily appointment file (45) having multiple rows for entering appointment data. A horizontal scroll bar (48) allows the schedules to be displayed over a distance that is wider than a display area on the screen. The vertical bar graph (44) includes color-coded bars (47) to signify the status of appointments as: i) prior to check-in, ii) after check-in and iii) canceled appointments. In a "day view" schedules are arranged by selecting a group from a group list (24). The appointments can be predetermined as to type and duration, and a scheduler can refer to a list (63) of such pre-configured appointments (65) in scheduling patients. Various types of color-coding arrangements and icons are provided for patient status.
