Arrived

The patient has arrived for their appointment.

Must be set manually.

Attended

Green

The patient attended the appointment.

By default, Halaxy automatically updates the appointment status to Attended at the time of the appointment. If you don’t want this to update automatically, change your appointment settings in Settings > General > Appointment Settings.

Booked*

Yellow

(If two-way reminders are not enabled, the label will have no colour.)

The appointment has been made in your calendar. This is the default status when you create an appointment.

If two-way reminders are enabled, Booked is the appointment status until a response is received from the patient. The status will change depending on the patients response.

If two-way reminders are disabled, the appointment status remains as Booked until the appointment time, then it automatically changes to Attended.

Cancelled

The appointment has been cancelled.

Depending on your calendar preferences, cancelled appointments may not be shown in your calendar, but the Cancelled status is listed next to a cancelled appointment in the Appointments List.

If you only set the appointment status as Cancelled, the appointment frees up the timeslot, but the invoice amount will remain at the original amount. To reduce the invoice amount to zero, you must cancel the appointment.

Check response*

Amber (requires action)

If two-way reminders are enabled, Check Response is set when a patient sends a response that does not begin with Yes, Y, No or N, or if the reminder failed to send.

Check the reminder activity by viewing the patient’s SMS response.

Confirmed*

Green

The patient has confirmed the appointment via two-way SMS reminder by responding with Yes or Y.

Declined

The practitioner has declined the appointment.

Must be set manually,

Did not attend

The patient did not attend the appointment (a.k.a. no-shows).

Must be set manually.

Pending*

Amber (requires action)

The practitioner has not responded to the patient’s online booking request. The practitioner needs to accept or reject the online booking.

This status is not used by default. You can configure Pending to be the default status for online bookings in your online booking preferences.

Rejected*

Red

The patient has rejected the appointment via two-way SMS reminder by responding with No or N.

Rescheduled

The appointment has been rescheduled.

Must be set manually.

Note: Appointments that are rescheduled online are shown as cancelled and recreated rather than using the Rescheduled status.

Waiting List

The patient is on the waiting list. You can click Invite in the Appointment Information form to invite the patient to the appointment.

You can configure Waiting List to be the default status for appointments made via online booking.
