Why would you need to use the "Add Visit Type" feature while scheduling?

The "Add Visit Type" feature is utilized primarily to categorize the appointment type. By using this feature, schedulers can assign specific visit types based on the nature of the appointment, which can help streamline both the scheduling process and patient management. Categorizing the appointment type allows for better organization of the schedule, aids in reporting, and ensures that the appropriate resources and personnel are available for the specific needs of the visit.

This categorization can significantly enhance workflows within the healthcare setting. It enables providers to manage their time and resources effectively, aligning patient needs with the correct visit types, such as routine check-ups, specialist consultations, or follow-up visits. Properly categorizing visits also assists in tracking the types of services offered and the volume of appointments related to each category.

While selecting the reason for patient referral, entering additional details, and finalizing the scheduling process may be important tasks, they do not directly pertain to the primary function of the "Add Visit Type" feature, which focuses specifically on the categorization aspect.
