Above I've put two screenshots of the new calendar. They should look very familiar in some ways, but there are definite differences. For one, you don't just have each day fully filled in with a color, you can actually see every appointment you have on that day. Not surprisingly, if you click on one of those appointments, you can go directly to documenting/editing/unlocking it, rather than having to go to the day planner first. This alone probably will save you 33% of the clicking you used to have to do. But what about the day planner? Well, it's still there, but it looks a little different too. Heres what you see if you click on a day outside one of the actual appointments (or on the day number itself):
Again, this looks somewhat similar; It's a day, divided up into hours. But there's a nice touch now, in that each hour is divided up into 15 minute segments, and your appointments are aligned to show exactly where inside that hour they start and stop, quite a visual step up from what used to be just a vague approximation. Another nice touch is that if you're working through your week, rather than having to go back to the calendar between each day, you can just use the links at the top left and top right to go to the next or previous day of the month, easily moving from one day to another in one click.
I really hope you enjoy these new improvements to the calendar, and that you'll let us know if you have other ideas for how to make our system better (especially because these improvements are based on suggestions we've received directly from you, our therapists).
And let me point out, before closing, that I can't take credit for these shiny new features. This is all the work of our most recently hired software developer, Tyler Picket, and I think you'll agree that he's been a great addition to our team.
Like what you see? Have suggestions to make this feature even better? Let us know in the comments!
