For a given date, it specifies the number of patients allowed in each slot

Comments:

  • When adding a pattern indefinitely, it adds PATTERN slots for 5 weeks.
  • The "ST" node holds PATTERN entries for 5 weeks, starting at given date.
  • The "T" node holds the 10 min interval slots, starting at the given date.
  • The TEMPLATE itself is stored in the T1 node. Because there was no prior entry, and no end date, then 9999999 ending date is used

Comments:

  • When NOT adding a pattern indefinitely, it adds slots only for the days indicated by the user.
  • The "T" node holds the 10 min interval slots, starting at the given date, no change vs. indefinite addition
  • The "ST" node holds the PATTERN entry for each of the 2 days specified by the user
  • There is no Tx entries.
  • There is are OST node (SPECIAL PATTERN) entries for the specified days. Thus is seems that the OST node entries replace the Tx nodes.

Notes: 
* The T node contains 3 different patterns, one for each of the days entered.  To determine which of these patterns applies, one would have to determine which day of the week each pattern exists on, and then find the appropriate pattern.
* The ST nodes have been filled in due to browsing for making an appt (not shown here).

Comments:

  • Because I first added a set pattern (not indefinite) at t+8, I was then not given the option to add an indefinite pattern. Instead, I was given the option for a pattern from now until t+8.
  • OST nodes were made for the first fixed pattern, and then T0 node was set for PATTERN entry.
  • T node entries were made for each of the two sets. There is one pattern starting at 3081214, which changes at 3081221.
  • ST node entries again show availability PATTERN combined from both the SPECIAL and TEMPLATE entries.
  • Notice presences of ^SC(IEN,"ST",FMDate,9)=IEN nodes. This means that the pattern should be taken from the OST node of the same date, not the T0 nodes

Comments

  • The TEMPLATE node (T1) is not changed by the subsequent addition of fixed days.
  • The PATTERN node (ST) shows the mixture of the repeating template with superimposed fixed days.
  • The AVAILABILITY node (T) has the availability times change starting at 3081229. This means that one can't simply look at the latest date in the T nodes and use that to determine slots.

Comments:

  • Notice that the PATTERN node ("ST"), shows only 1 (not 2) spaces available at the appt time. Thus this is where the record of CURRENT AVAILABILITY is stored.
  • The AVAILABILITY "T" node value of "2" patients allowd at 0900 is NOT changed.


Example of DELETING appt slots

Below shows an example of deleting appts, done by redefining the available appts for the same date.

Comments:

  • The "T" nodes are simply erased and replaced by the new pattern
  • The "T1" node has 2 date ranges. 1st is up to (but not including) 3081215, and the 2nd is from 3081215 onward
  • The "ST" node shows a * that I think indicates an appt with no slot

Comments:

  • An inital ^SDB was used, and 5 week's worth of MONDAY's were created
  • Then, as I used the MAKE AN APPOINTMENT menu option, and browsed into the future, more days were automatically added to the "ST" nodes
  • Finally, an appt was set at 2/23/09@0800
  • Notee: As I have cleared this test clinic each time between tests, I have not cleared out the S nodes, which are actual existing appts. Notice that when the current availability string is constructed for the given date, pre-existing appts are taken into account, and automatically notes (e.g. 12/15/08@0900 appt is shown.)

Patterns to consider

Below are possible scheduling patterns to consider. I will use *** to indicated days using a TEMPLATE, and !!! indicate days that were specified as specialized patterns (i.e. fixed days). 1**** means that *** days were added first. 2***** means that these were added second, 3!!!! would be added third etc.

  • 1***** 2!!! **** 3!!!
  • 2***** 1!!! 3********
  • others...
