Managing eServices Conflicts

Appointment Conflicts

Within the Appointment Book, when the conflict icon  appears, the user must check the list and resolve the conflict. It is recommended the practice contacts the patient to schedule another date and time.

Appointment Conflict Reasons

1. An appointment has been created in D4W/PSS at the same time that an appointment from eAppointments has been booked. This will occur if there is any overlap of appointments.
2. A break/preset slot has been entered in D4W/PSS and there is an overlap with an appointment created online.
3. A day in the appointment book is locked and the retry limit has been reached.
4. The appointment start time is less than the current time (E.g. Historical appointment)

Resolving Appointment Conflicts

1. Go to Appointment Book > Options menu
2. View eAppointments
1. Appointment Conflicts sub-tab
   
   
2. Print List: Select to print the current list of conflicts; the user must enter a date range to base the report on
3. Clear List: Select to clear the current list of conflicts
4. Processed: Select to indicate the patient has been contacted
5. Click Exit when all conflicts have been resolved
   

Patient Conflicts

When an eAppointment is scheduled, the system will check a set of details between patients to either match with an existing patient or create a new file. When the system cannot determine if the patient should be matched or created as new, it generates a conflict.

Within the Appointment Book, when the conflict icon  appears, the user must check the list and resolve the conflict. 

Patient Field Matching

The following fields are checked to find a match or create a new patient.

1. First Name,
2. Surname,
3. DOB,
4. Mobile Number, and 
5. E-mail

Patient Conflict Reasons

In some instances, patients could use different information to complete their eServices profile than the information within D4W/PSS; or, a patient’s First Name could have been misspelled in D4W/PSS but spelled correctly in eServices.

Therefore, a combination of matching the fields above between eServices and D4W/PSS will be used to determine if the patient is New, Existing or has Potential Matches.

Resolving Patient Conflicts

1. Go to Appointment Book > Options menu
2. View eAppointments
1. Patient Conflicts sub-tab 
                                                                                                          
2. Highlight Patient in eServices section
3. View the Possible Record Matches
1. If the possible matches are not this patient, click Create a new patient
2. If a possible match is this patient, highlight it and click Assign to existing patient
4. Click Exit when conflicts have been resolved
   

ePayment Conflicts

A transaction will show in ePayment Conflicts when the transaction has failed.
