Halaxy is designed for you to run your practice entirely from your calendar – streamlining your operations with optimised efficiency to save an hour a day. Now that you have set up your practice details, you’re ready to start learning this Halaxy workflow.
Just by creating an appointment, you also:
-
Add a patient
-
Add a fee or service
-
Automatically create a clinical note for the appointment
-
Automatically create an invoice (where you can process payment)
-
Automatically schedule reminders for the appointment (if enabled)
With one quick action, you can complete the essential workflow of running your practice.
