Upgrading to Appointments Setup

If you currently use Vision 3 Appointments, we must arrange for the upgrade of your Appointments system. This is a very simple process, we will contact you to discuss your upgrade and arrange a mutually convenient date.

Please be assured that all existing Appointments data is transferred when upgrading.

What do I need to do? 

It is vital you complete the following tasks before you can upgrade:

• Training - Complete the eLearning and use this help centre to find out all you need to know about upgrading to and using Appointments Setup.

  See the Appointments Setup Learning path in the Learning Zone for free online training.

• Data Tidy Up - As preparation for your Appointments system upgrade, Cegedim Healthcare Solutions run a utility on your current system in order to tidy up the existing set up.

  See Upgrading to Appointments Setup for details.

• Appointments backup - We strongly recommend, as a business continuity measure, you check your Appointments backup is generating correctly.
