Encounter types
Specify what type of event your encounters are.
This functionality is exclusive to Nimbo Agenda Professional or Nimbo Clinical plans.
Adding encounter types for your organization
With this option, you will be able to show a catalog of your services to your patients and the option to schedule directly under that concept.
First, let´s create them!
Go to ‘My account’ > ‘Organization’.
In the section 'Encounter Types', click on the "+" button.
Each service can have its own duration.
Add all the information required:
- Name and description.
- Duration.
- Schedule type.
- Price.
Additionally, you can activate the option "Charge" to make automatic charges once the appointment is created.
After this configuration, the next step is adding them to each calendar you want.
Go to ‘My account’ > ‘Configuration’ > ‘Agenda’.
All the encounter types can be added to individual or group agendas.
If you add more than one encounter type to your agenda, you will notice a change on your calendar portal. Once you access it, you must select the encounter type, then add the rest of the information on the event (date, hour, etc).
