More Medical, Exam Room thinking outloud

There's a "Whale Checkin List" that includes every outpatient scheduled for clinic, it also includes all of their appointments and is sorted by appointment time. Since it sorts by appt time, it doesn't handle multiple appointments well. If a patient comes for a 10am, and an 11am, they will be listed twice, once at each time. This can be confusing or at least cluttered since they only need to check in once. I remember seeing a list that grouped appontments by patient. I will dig more.

The "All Appointments" Report isn't bad. It sorts by service, then by patient, then by time. The bad part is that it includes appointments at the regionals. It's a little too much information.
I'd bet that it would be easy to create a similar report for all patients projected to be seen on any specific floor of the new building.
