Creating Session Types

Before you can define a new session, you must create session types, for example:

  • Physio Clinic.

  • Afternoon Clinic.

  • Evening Clinic.

  • Non-Clinical.

The exact setup of session types is individual to your Shared Care Service, but all session types have the following characteristics:

  • They are searchable, for example, you can search for all available Physio Clinic appointments.

  • They are not time specific, although they can have a time period in the name, for example, Morning Clinic.

  • They are separated into clinical, with slots where patient names can be entered and non-clinical, without slots.

To create a Session Type:

  3. From your desktop, select Remote Vision and log into Vision 3.

  4. Select Appointments .

  5. Select Plan - Session Type:

  6. Select Add:

  7. Complete as follows:

    • Description - Enter the name for this session type.

    • Clinical - Tick if this is a session that patients are booked into.

  8. Select OK to save.

Note - The list automatically displays in alphabetical order

A default Session Type can be selected in Maintenance - System Constants - Defaults - System Constants - Defaults for slot type, session type, booking and cancellation.
