Link Doctors to Your Clinic's Calendars

In a clinical environment, organizing the schedules of healthcare professionals is crucial for ensuring efficient and quality care. In the Ares system, the Doctors module allows managers to link professionals to the clinic's calendars, facilitating appointment scheduling and visibility into their availability. In this article, we will explore how to set this up step by step.

What is the Doctors Module?

The Ares Doctors module is a tool that manages the information of healthcare professionals in the clinic. This module allows you to register, edit, and view the data and availability of doctors, helping to organize the routine of appointments and avoiding scheduling conflicts.

Benefits of the Doctors Module

• —Schedule Organization: Maintains a clear structure regarding when each doctor is available.
• —Easy Access: Allows the reception team to quickly consult the schedule of any professional.
• —Flexibility: Enables the record of various information such as specialties, biography, and spoken languages.

Prerequisites

Before linking doctors to the clinic's calendars, ensure that:

1. —You have access to the Doctors module in Ares.
2. —The clinic's registration data is up to date.
3. —The specialties and other information of the doctors are readily available.

Step-by-Step to Link Doctors to Calendars

Step 1: Access the Doctors Module

1. —Log into the Ares system.
2. —On the home screen, navigate to the Management menu and select the Doctors option.

Step 2: Add a New Doctor

1. —Click the Add Doctor button.
2. —Fill in the required identification and contact fields for the doctor.
3. —Select the calendar to which the doctor will be linked.

Step 3: Configure Availability

1. —After adding the doctor, configure their working hours.
2. —Define the consultation hours and add breaks if necessary.
3. —Save the information.

Step 4: Personalize Doctor Information

Practical Example

Let’s imagine a scenario where a dermatology clinic has two doctors: Dr. John and Dr. Maria.

• —Dr. John: general dermatology specialist, works Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with a break from 12 PM to 1 PM.
• —Dr. Maria: aesthetic dermatology specialist, works on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 PM to 7 PM, with no breaks.

By following the steps above, you can register both doctors and configure their availability. This way, when scheduling appointments, the team will know exactly when each one is available, avoiding any inconveniences.

Limitations and Common Mistakes

It is important to highlight that the Ares system does not verify the professional credentials of doctors at the time of registration. Additionally, registering a doctor does not equate to creating a login account for the system.

Another common mistake is failing to configure the availability hours correctly, which can lead to scheduling conflicts. Always review the information before finalizing the registration.

Conclusion

Managing the linking of doctors to the Ares clinic calendars is an essential step to optimize care and ensure that patients are attended by the right professionals at the right times. By following the practical guide provided, you can effectively organize your clinic's schedules. For more information and features of the Ares system, visit https://clinic.ares-agent.com.br.
