Waitlist mode helps gather patient interest, queue and prioritize patients, and prevent overbooking by only letting patients book in when there is time and supply.
With the waitlist mode, there's no scramble to book patients in - just edit the waitlist filters and send the booking link en masse.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Setting Up the Waitlist
Navigate to Settings then Appointment Types
Select the desired appointment type
Turn the Waitlist appointments toggle ON (blue)
If the Enable public intake toggle is ON patients are able to sign up for the waitlist on the medmeapp.com/schedule page.
Patients are not able to schedule their appointments directly if the Waitlist toggle is ON.
Please Note: Patients are able to self-remove from the waitlist by following the link in either their waitlist confirmation email or their booking link email.
Waitlist Management: Active and Expired Links
Within each waitlist, there are three main tabs that can be used to track a patient's status.
Waitlist
Patients who sign up for the waitlist can be seen on the Waitlist tab.
The majority of actions will take place in this tab, including filtering/sorting and sending booking links for the first time.
Active Links
Patients who are sent a booking link but haven't scheduled an appointment are on the Active Links tab.
Patients will stay in the Active Links tab until expiry. The expiry is determined each time the booking link is sent from the waitlist.
Patients who schedule appointments using the booking link are removed from this section.
Patients who do not schedule their appointment while the link is active move to the the Expired Links tab.
Expired Links
Patients who do not schedule an appointment while the booking link is active.
Patients in Expired Links can be sent a custom note, a booking link or an opt-out email.
💡 Tip: Use the Expired Links section as a secondary waitlist. This is helpful if patients were unable to schedule an appointment the first time the booking link was sent.
