First of all, let me acknowledge Jordan et al. for a great job on 5.4. It's really nice
The staff suggested to me today that it would be nice if the color boxes that are assigned in Setup > Definitions > Appt Confirmed would show up next to the abbreviations in the chart module. This would serve as a quick reference for when we're glancing at the schedule.
I know the bubble shows what the appointment status is, but this requires interacting with the mouse.
We have ours set up like so
Patient here
Needs pano
In followup room
Needs consent
Ready for surgery
In Surgery
Patient discharged
Appointment confirmed
Apppointment unconfirmed
So anyone can quickly glance at the schedule and immediately know what the status of any patient is. Helps with the multitasking, and cuts down on back and forth communication between front and back.
I realize that we could use the manage module in some fashion, but it's more efficient to be able to glance at the schedule and immediately know the status of everyone on the schedule.
I know we could go low tech and just print a list and color 'em and stick it on the wall, but still....
Thanks

Are you talking about until you memorize your status colors. We look at them all day long, so it doesn't take long to memorize the colors that are used. Unless I misunderstood.
