Appointments
AGNES Connect can accept scheduled appointments. A scheduled appointment contains patient demographics, time of appointment, location, and the provider. Once the appointment is completed, AGNES deletes the patient demographics.
If the organization is integrated with an EMR, appointments will appear once scheduled in the EMR.
Administers may also manually add appointments.
