WA: Book Recurring Services for a Patient
Scheduling a Patient for recurring services allows you to book a certain service for a Patient and allocate it to a staff member who will be responsible for supplying the specific service to the Patient. Implementing Recurring Services helps to ensure that the level of care offered is consistent across the Hospital and that staff members do not forget what they need to do.
