Completing a Patient Consultation

To keep track of patients, one can complete their scheduled consultations via their profiles.

STEP 1: Select the consultation to be completed from the patient's profile. For instance, completing a patient's Flu Shot appointment.

STEP 2: After choosing the specific consultation, select Complete located at the top right-hand corner. A prompt will appear to confirm this action.


Scheduling an Appointment Time

Appointments can be scheduled through MedMe in one of two ways:

Through the individual patient's profile

STEP 2: In the pop-up, select the Appointment Type and schedule the date and time of the appointment. Click the green Schedule Appointment to save the information.

Through the "Appointments" Tab

STEP 1: Access the Appointments Tab on the left-hand side navigation bar.

STEP 2: Select Add on the right-hand side to open the pop-up.

STEP 3: In the pop-up that appears, select the Appointment Type and schedule the date and time of the appointment. Selecting the green Schedule Appointment will save this information.


Rescheduling an Appointment Time

In case a patient's appointment needs to be rescheduled, this action can be carried out directly from the patient's profile.

STEP 1: Select the consultation to be rescheduled from the patient's profile. For instance, rescheduling a patient's Flu Shot (Regular) appointment.

STEP 2: After choosing the specific consultation, select the down arrow next to Complete, located at the top right-hand corner to open the dropdown menu and select Reschedule.

STEP 3: Choose to either select a new date and time or invite the patient to reschedule through a booking link. If sending a booking link, specify the date ranges for the new appointment. The current appointment can be canceled or held until rescheduled.

STEP 4: Select a reason for rescheduling which will be sent as a note for the patient. Choose a reason from the dropdown menu or select Other to add a custom note.

STEP 5: Confirm the details and select Submit

Reminder: In all instances, users must ensure they have set their calendar availabilities by setting up their calendar for each of their appointment types.


Canceling a Patient Consultation

Occasionally, due to changes in schedule or supply, a patient's appointment may need to be canceled.

STEP 1: Select the consultation to be canceled from the patient's profile.

STEP 2: After choosing the specific consultation, click the down arrow next to Complete, located at the top right-hand corner to open the dropdown menu and select Cancel.

Please Note: Patients can cancel their appointment by accessing their appointment confirmation email, and clicking Cancel Appointment at the bottom of the page.
