Appointment Screen Tabs
Describes each of the tabs available when using OSCAR.
Month Tab
This tab allows you to see the whole month at a glace and see which doctor is working on specific days (See previous paragraph: "Checking Schedules").
Resource Tab
OscarResource is a web-based clinical resource database that is maintained by contributors from across the country. It contains links to websites that are relevant to actual clinical practice, and is constantly being updated with the latest information on medicine and other relevant topics. See Chapter 13
Search Tab
The Search Tab is used to search the database for a specific patient’s Master Demographic record to perform many office functions, including booking an appointment. See Chapter 4
Report Tab
This tab gives you access to various common reports used in a medical office. Active Patient List, Day Sheet, All Appointments, Bad Appointment Sheet, Patient Chart List, No Show Appointment List. See Chapter 9- Report Tab
Billing Tab
Reports can be created on appointments that fall under one of the following categories: billed, unbilled, unsettled, OB, or Flu. See Chapter 9- Billing Tab
Lab Tab
The Lab tab gives you a list of all new lab reports sent to the clinic for your patients. This only applies to laboratories that send your clinic their reports via phoneline transfers. Paper reports still need to be scanned and uploaded as e-docs.
Once you have read a lab, you can click "Acknowledge" to remove the lab from the list. The acknowledged labs can still be viewed, from the patient's e-chart.
There is also a red asterisk that appears on the lab tab for unclaimed reports, in other words reports that were not specified for a particular doctor. All doctors have access to these labs, and anyone can acknowledge them.
Note: This function is not usually available for those with receptionist permissions.
MSG Tab
OSCARmsg is a secure messaging system within the intranet of the OSCAR clinic and between OSCAR clinic sites. The functions work like many common e-mail programs. See Chapter 11
Con Tab
From the "con" tab, the staff booking specialist appointments can pick up the request and process through each step. Both doctor and staff can check the status of the task, from waiting for the specialist to call back, waiting for the patient to call back and completion of the task. See Chapter 10
Preference Tab
The Preference Tab gives you the following options: Change your password, change the start and end time showing on the appointment screen, or edit or add a group. See Chapter 2- User Preferences
eDoc Tab
