This Patient Check-In help topic provides instruction on how to check in patient appointments using Ambulatory Organizer.
When the clerk is on the Renal unit, they will check in the patient for their appointment. For times when there is NO clerk available, the Nurse checks in the patient.
Go to Ambulatory Organizer in PowerChart.
Select the Date and Clinic Resources.
Locate the Patient.
Click on Confirmed in the Status column.
Select Check In.
The Check In window opens.
Clinics can indicate where the patient is located within the site. Note BC Children’s Hospital (BCH) does not use the Tracking Shell. Therefore, for BCH staff, please skip steps 6-7.
Click the down arrow in the Tracking location field.
Select the appropriate Check In location (e.g., SPH HD WR).
