As part of our commitment to enhancing user experience and operational efficiency, the PracticeEHR team is excited to introduce the Additional Locations Functionality in Provider Scheduling, a robust feature that allows users to create and manage one schedule across multiple locations using a new Additional Locations option during schedule setup. This streamline scheduling workflows by reducing duplicate schedules and ensuring appointments created for additional locations are automatically treated as Telehealth (Tele Visit).

Navigation:

Scheduling → Schedule → Create New Schedule

What’s New

· Create one schedule for multiple locations

When creating a new provider schedule, users can select one or more Additional Locations. The schedule will be treated as available for the primary location + selected additional locations.

· Telehealth is enforced for additional locations

If an appointment is created under an additional location, it will automatically be a Tele Visit, and users cannot change it to an Office Visit.

When creating a new schedule, you’ll see a new Additional Locations field where you can choose one or more extra locations.

Choose the location when Scheduling

When you open the calendar for that provider/schedule:

· The Location dropdown becomes available

· You can select:

o the primary location, or

o any additional location you added

Appointments will be created under the location you select.

What appears in the dropdown

· The dropdown is populated with Location short names for all locations where: Place of Service (POS) Code = 2 or 10

Important Note About Visit Type (Auto-Handled)

Additional locations are Telehealth-only

If you select an additional location while creating an appointment:

· Tele Visit is automatically selected

· You cannot change it to Office Visit

This ensures the right visit type is always applied without extra clicks or mistakes.
