Using the Online Appointment Queue
Nextech’s internal Online Appointment Queue can be configured to work nicely with all API based online scheduling systems including NextPatient. This tool allows the office staff to locate any appointment made through the API with easy to use filters for date range, location, provider, and even appointment type or purpose. To access this tool, go to Activities → Scheduling → Online Scheduling… or click its icon in the Scheduler module shown below in green.

Note: The Online Schedule Queue’s icon in the Scheduler Module will be disabled when there is no activity to review. You can still access the tool through the Activities menu at any time. Setup Instructions: Update Preferences: Tools → Edit Preferences → Scheduler Module → Online Scheduling → General. Assign the “Online Scheduling Appointments - Hold” preference value to “Pending - Web” and press Save. Setting the hold preference does not impact the appointment being saved. All appointments through NextPatient will still be saved successfully and no action is officially needed from the staff to confirm the appointment.
