Feature Spotlight: Appointment Labels

Every healthcare practice operates differently, but appointment scheduling systems often force everyone into the same rigid categories. Canvas Medical customers have consistently asked for more ways to organize and identify appointments beyond basic status updates.

Appointment Labels answers that call, bringing the flexible custom labeling system you already rely on for tasks and claims into your scheduling workflow. Now you can tag appointments with the specific categories, priorities, and identifiers that make sense for how your practice actually works.

Why Appointment Labels Matter

Standard appointment statuses like "scheduled," "arrived," and "completed" tell only part of the story. Your practice might need to distinguish between:

• First-time vs. follow-up visits

• Different appointment priorities

• Specific care pathways or protocols

• Internal workflow stages

• Insurance or billing categories

Appointment Labels give you the granular control to organize appointments exactly how your practice operates.

Comprehensive Integration Across Your Workflow

Appointment Labels are seamlessly integrated throughout Canvas Medical's scheduling interface:

• Schedule & Create Appointment Modal: Add labels when booking new appointments, ensuring proper categorization from the start.

• Reschedule Appointment Modal: Labels automatically carry over when appointments are rescheduled, maintaining your organizational system without extra work.

• Other Events Tab: View and manage labels directly within the appointment details.

• Appointment Cards: Labels are prominently displayed in both week and day view, giving you instant visual recognition across your entire schedule.

• Print Schedule: Labels appear as comma-separated values on printed schedules, ensuring your organizational system extends to physical documentation.

Smart Limitations for Focused Organization

To maintain clarity and prevent label overload, each appointment supports up to 3 labels. This encourages thoughtful categorization while providing sufficient flexibility for complex scheduling needs.

Built on Proven Technology

Appointment Labels use the same reliable infrastructure as Canvas Medical's existing task and claim labels. This means:

• Familiar interface and workflow for your team

• Consistent performance and reliability

• Centralized management through Settings > Task labels

• Easy configuration that matches your current labeling approach
