A New Walk-In Patient is a Patient who arrives at the Practice without a prior appointment and is being seen for the first time. Their details are not yet on the system, so all Patient information must be captured when the booking is made, and a new electronic file must be created.
When the booking is added to the Diary, the Patient is automatically marked as Arrived, as they are already at the Practice. This type of visit is typically handled quickly to allow the Practitioner to attend to the Patient promptly, and the booking type should be set up accordingly.
💡Please Note: A Booking Type will need to be set up accordingly.
📌Disclaimer: Having aNew Walk-In Patient booking type is beneficial as it allows the Practice to handle unscheduled Patients quickly and efficiently. It ensures that all necessary Patient details are captured immediately, while reducing administrative delays.
