Modify a Block on a Resource Schedule
Note:
Blocks added in Patient Administration System 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 Cerner 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. See Ad Hoc Resource Schedule Change Workflow in Revenue Cycle Scheduling for more information.- Locate the block that you want to edit. From the Block Actions menu, select Edit Block. The Edit Block dialog box is displayed.
- If you are editing a recurring series, select whether you are editing this block or all blocks in the series.
- Update the block information and select Save.
- If the block results in a conflict, a Resource Conflict message is displayed. To continue, select Save. If you no longer want to edit the block, select Close.
- The block is updated on the resource schedule.
- If the block results in a conflict, a Block Conflict message is displayed on the appointment that causes a conflict.
- Locate conflicting appointments and reschedule them. For information regarding the reschedule workflow, see Reschedule an Appointment in Oracle Health Patient Administration.
- Once the appointment is rescheduled, the block conflict is resolved on the resource schedule. Repeat for any additional conflicts
Note:
A block conflict may generate a reschedule request, depending on your configuration in Millennium Platform. If a request is generated, it must be managed in Millennium Platform.
