Setting a continuing care appointment complete

When you set an appointment attached to continuing care complete, you are prompted to schedule the next continuing care appointment. If you click Yes, the schedule is advanced according to the interval set up for the continuing care type, and the Appointment Information dialog appears, allowing you to schedule the next appointment.

Important:  You are only prompted to schedule the next continuing care appointment if the procedure attached to a continuing care type is set complete. For example, if the patient is scheduled for an exam, which is attached to the RECALL continuing care type, and an amalgam, which is not attached to a continuing care type, you must set the exam complete so that you are prompted to schedule the next continuing care appointment.

The flow chart below demonstrates what occurs when you set an appointment complete to determine whether the patient needs to have another appointment scheduled.
