Manage Resource Schedule Blocks

This topic describes how to manage blocks from the resource schedule.

Note:

Blocks added in Oracle Health Patient Administration are not visible in Scheduling Appointment Book (SchApptBook.exe) and are not recognized when you schedule an appointment using this product. If a site continues to maintain shared calendars across the executables (for example, a physician who has perioperative scheduling and physician practice scheduling), Oracle Health recommends that you use block slots as part of a resource's default schedule so that time is appropriately accounted for in all scheduling systems. Resource default schedules can be managed as part of a resource's regularly applied default schedule or ad hoc in Revenue Cycle (RevenueCycle.exe). See Ad Hoc Resource Schedule Change Workflow in Revenue Cycle Scheduling.

Select the resource schedule and the appropriate resources and date, then from the appropriate section below, you can add, edit, or remove a block.

Add a Block

To add a block to the resource schedule:

1. Select New Block.
2. Complete the block information, including resources, block type, recurrence, date, and time.
3. Select Place.
4. If the block results in a conflict, manually identify and reschedule any displaced appointments.

Edit a Block

To edit a block:

1. Locate and select the block you want to edit.

   Note:

   If the block was created as a recurring block, you must update each instance separately.
2. Update block information and select Save.
3. If the block results in a conflict, you must manually identify and reschedule any displaced appointments.

Remove a Block

To remove a block:

1. Locate and select the block you want to remove.

   Note:

   If the block was created as a recurring block, you must update each instance separately.
2. Select Remove.
3. If the block was previously causing a block conflict, the conflict is removed when the block is removed.
