PATIENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Computer Defaults
This area is utilized if the user would like different
information on this computer than may be available
at another networked computer. You can change
the screen size and print receipts with an alternate
address rather than the Clinic Default address. Cell
shading is defined and you can also choose a
different Appointment Book Set. The options on the
Computer Default screen are used for this computer
only. If you are running PMP networked each
computer can assign different options.
Screen Size
The PMP screen resolution can be changed so that you decide how PMP will appear on your desktop.
Networked offices will choose screen resolution for each computer running PMP.
Choose the screen resolution by clicking the radio button beside your choice under Screen Size. The
screen will change each time you click a different radio button allowing you to choose the screen size you
prefer.
Note that grayed out screen sizes are not available for this monitor although you may be able to increase
these options by changing your screen settings in Display Properties.
To temporarily change the screen size from the main appointment book:
Press the Ctrl and up arrow keys together when on the main appointment book to enlarge
Press the Ctrl and down arrow keys together when on the main appointment book to shrink.
This temporary feature is also available on the right click menu.
Appointment Shading
Appointment cells can be shaded to various degrees of grey to signify their meaning on the schedule.
Appointment Cell shade refers to booked appointments. This makes viewing horizontal appointments
that wrap easier to distinguish. Adjust the lever to the desired setting.
Unavailable Shared Column Cell shade refers to shared columns where another practitioner has a
patient booked and a timeslot is not available. This cell is also populated with the doctor code of the
practitioner who is using this room. Adjust the lever to the desired setting.
Extra Column Cell shade refers to temporary columns that are added to accommodate appointments
that exceed the timeslot when wrapping is not turned on. This differentiates these columns so that
over-booking does not occur by inadvertently booking into the Extra column.
Other Setup Menu Options
Appointment Books
PMP will accommodate multitudes of practitioners. You may wish to view your practitioners in a specific
order or in different groupings. The order of practitioner tabs and grouping on your appointment books
can be customized using Appointment Books and Appointment Book Sets.
