When the appointment created is not assigned to a provider (unassigned) then the appointment will not show up in the calendar nor in the patient’s appointment section, but will show up in the report. Since it will not show up in the calendar nor in the patient appointment section then there is no way to update the appointment but to create a new appointment which convolutes up the appointment report.
The patient does not have a chosen provider because the patient does not have to be assigned a provider in the patient demographic since they can be assigned any provider when they come for an office visit. Also, when creating appointments there is no specific provider that they can see, it could be any provider coming in on any day.
Hi,
I think othesr have worked around this by creating dummy users (ie. any-doc) for this and then scheduling with that dummy user(ie. any-doc).

1. if there are only 3 providers then there is no highlight on the first item on the scroll list of providers.
2. if there are about 6 providers then the scroll list extends further and the first provider is auto-highlighted.
Is there a way the system will auto-highlight a globally identified default provider so that the appointment does not disappear and clutter the appointment table ? Or better yet how can I display an appointment created that did not have a provider (unassigned) ?
>1. if there are only 3 providers then there is no highlight on the first item on the scroll list of providers.
Does anyone know how to fix this ? If there are only 3 providers in the clinics then there will be no highlight on the first provider listed first, and then the patient appointment will be created without a provider assigned, therefore the appointment will not show up in the calendar or the appointment list, but shows up in the appointment report.
Is there a way to disallow saving the appointment without choosing a provider ?
1. When creating the appointments from the Calendar view the first provider in the list is automatically highlighted.
2. When creating the appointment from the patient face sheet there is no provider highlighted, even if the patient has a choice of a default provider in Choices.
