Appointment Checkin
Digital check-in is the ability to electronically collect and verify key patient information necessary for a patient to be seen for an appointment . This process vary by practice, but typically we recommend that the following components be included in the partner UI, leveraging the appropriate API calls to exchange the latest athenaNet information and data.
Check-in is the first stage of the 5-stage patient encounter. This feature allows the user to see if the check-in requirements have been met ("check-in") before a patient can be cleared to start the checked-in process ("startcheckin"). It is important to note that these calls return the patient's readiness status but do not allow you to modify the information needed to check-in a patient. Once started, this process can be stopped ("cancelcheckin").
