What Does The Appointment Diary Report Tell me on MPC ?

This report gives you a graphical view of the appointment diary whitespace, for each day in the selected period.

Each day in the reporting period is shown as a separate column.

The top section of the report is a summary of data for all the selected practices, for each day:

  • Available Time: this is the total number of hours of unblocked time in the day and is colour coded blue.

  • Appointments: this is the the total hours booked with appointments in the day (excluding cancelled, failed or audit status appointments (moved, deleted, etc and is colour coded green.

  • Whitespace: This shows the total of all available hours that are not booked with appointments, and this value as a percentage of the available hours and is colour coded red.

    πŸ’‘ Top tip: Change the end date to look ahead to see where whitespace is forming, check amount of booked time vs amount available time.
