The Appointment Report is intended to show past and future trends in scheduling and identify opportunities for improvement. Production goals are often associated with scheduling, and appointments can be strategically planned to help achieve these goals. The report can be used to determine the count of appointments, view appointment details, and analyse production, with the option to segregate data based on clinicians if required.
