What happens when you press the Check In button after selecting an appointment?

When you press the Check In button after selecting an appointment, it launches the check-in workflow. This workflow initiates a series of steps necessary for officially recording the patient's arrival for their scheduled appointment. It often involves confirming the patient's demographic information, updating any necessary medical records, and processing the patient through further stages of care, such as eligibility checks or payment processing.

The check-in workflow is a key part of the scheduling and patient management process because it ensures that all relevant information is current and that the patient's experience is streamlined from arrival to actual consultation or treatment. It helps healthcare facilities maintain accuracy in their scheduling operations and enhances overall patient flow in the practice.
