Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open Appointments and find the booking in the Calendar or Upcoming tab. Press the ⋯ button beside it. Choose Reschedule, pick a new date and press Move here on a free time, or choose Cancel, pick a reason and confirm.

Before you start

  • Know which patient and which booking you need to change.
  • Know the new day and time, if you are moving it.

Steps

  1. Open Appointments. The Calendar tab opens on today’s bookings. For other days, use the arrows or the Upcoming tab.

    Tip:In Upcoming, search by name, phone or UHID. It lists the next 14 days.

  2. Press the ⋯ button (More actions) beside the booking.

    The ⋯ menu open on an upcoming booking, with Reschedule and Cancel marked.
    Step 2 of 6

    Careful:Reschedule and Cancel show only for bookings that are not checked in and not on a past day.

  3. Choose Reschedule to move the booking.

  4. Pick a new date, then press Move here on a free time. The booking moves at once.

    The Reschedule Appointment window with the date and a free time marked. Each free time says Move here.
    Step 4 of 6

    Tip:The doctor stays the same. Booked and past times cannot be chosen. Neither can times marked Opens when they clock in.

  5. Choose Cancel from the same menu to cancel the booking instead.

  6. Pick a reason, then press Cancel appointment.

    The cancel window asking why the appointment is cancelled, with the reason and the Cancel appointment button marked.
    Step 6 of 6

    Careful:If you pick Other, add a short note. You can undo a cancellation for ten seconds.

If something goes wrong

Can I reschedule after the patient has checked in?

No. Once a patient has checked in, the menu no longer offers Reschedule or Cancel. Open that visit in the OPD queue instead.

What if the patient does not come?

Choose No-show from the ⋯ menu. It shows on the day of the visit and after it. You can undo it for ten seconds.

Can I undo a cancellation?

Yes, but only for ten seconds. Press Undo in the message that appears, and the appointment comes back.
