Resources can be equipments like CT Scan Or USG. This is specially provided in cases where there are multiple specialty Doctors, appointments can be for a type like Injury, Immunization etc.

To provide this feature, actions need to be taken at multiple places.

• Resource Master - Settings > Configuration > Medics > Resources is a new menu option to define all Resources.
• Resource Work Pattern Scheduling - Appointments > Work Pattern option allows user to define the Work pattern for Resources too besides the Doctors.
• Resource Appointments - On Appointment Schedule screen Doctors List box and All Docs Radio button, provide for a combined list of Doctors and Resources. Appointments can be taken for any one of them. The same consideration is also available for Block time, Appointment Confirm Pop up, and the Advanced Search link in Appointment Confirm Pop up.

All Doctors will see all the scheduled patients and when one of the Doctor clicks on the appointment patient name to go to the encounter, the Attending Doctor will change.

User can mark an Appointment as Arrived, even if it was scheduled for a Resource. The corresponding Appointment is started with the Attending Doc as Resource. If a Provider clicks on the Patient Name hyperlink on Home page (where the encounter is started), then the Encounter and Appointment Doc is changed from Resource to the Provider.

As explained above, now a Vacation can be defined for Resources also, besides Doctors.
