Color Coding for Block Times

Please bring back color coding for block times to the new EHR. Since PF doesn't allow scheduling at multiple offices, we use this to distinguish when each provider will be at which office location and prevent our patients from scheduling time slots incorrectly through Patient Fusion.

    Each provider listed has their own color for block times and now everything is just grey. We need this feature back.

  • Ms Kerry Lizon commented  · 

    PLEASE bring back the ability to block by color. It let's us see with a glance which doctor is out. Not only is the gray block easy to overlook but it requires much more time to figure out who is out.

  • Jeannette K. commented  · 

    We really need this!

  • Diane Arnold commented  · 

    Totally agree.... PLEASE bring back the color coding for blocked time! Now that the blocked time blends in with the office hours, it is too easy to make a mistake and schedule a patient when the doctor won't be in the office.

  • Mrs Patricia Folsom commented  · 

    it is sometimes difficult to see the blocked areas since the color is so close to the background of the regular schedule...really need to be able to see the blocked areas easier...we keep track of staff off, doctors at the hospital, their start and end times and lunch times in Practice Fusion

  • Anonymous commented  · 

    We are having a hard time telling the block time from the basic white. My people are scheduling in the block time because they cant tell the difference the gray is so light. How do I change this to a darker color

  • Mrs Catherine Wheatley commented  · 

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the color coding for blocks. Why did you change this??!!?? So confusing.

  • Anonymous commented  · 

    Please bring back color blocks ASAP !!!!

  • Mrs Cameo Wright commented  · 

    Right now the blocks blend in with the out of office hours so when we put reminders at the end of the day it is hard to see them. It would be nice as well to be able to have different colors for different people so it is easier to notice at a glance. Everything is gray now and it makes it harder to schedule.

  • Cheryl Mazur commented  · 

    Yes please! Our schedule looks soo busy with grey blocks and it takes more time to double check to see who is blocked out without color coding. For all providers grey is great but for individuals this is a time waster!

  • Phoenix Braxton commented  · 

    It would be immensely helpful to be able to use color coding to apply and qualify various types of blocked time within the schedule. Ie: if a blocked time applies to a lunch period, vacation period, outside professional training period, in-house administrative or staff meeting...etc., so that these timeframes are easy to discern at a glance.

    Yes, please!!! ASAP!! This has caused A LOT of confusion and missed meeting in our practice.

  • Anonymous commented  · 

    Bring back the color coded schedule for block time. It's hard to read the gray areas and all providers look the same. Also have time appear when you hover over an appointment slot to make scheduling easier. It's hard to tell what time you are scheduling into on later week days. We really don't like the changes made to the schedule. They don't work for our practice.

  • Rebeka Williams commented  · 

    Yes! We need to be able to assign colors to every type of blocked time (meetings, vacations, other offices, unavailable, etc.) at our clinic. We need to be able to assign the practitioner's color and also other colors (such as for staff meetings involving everyone). The dull grey is terrible and causes a lot of confusion at our clinic. PLEASE IMPROVE THIS FEATURE!! HURRY!!

  • Carly Epstein commented  · 

    This needs NEEDS to be brought back ASAP!!! This is making our schedule so complicated not easier.

  • Sarah O. commented  · 

    Yes! This needs to be brought back ASAP!

  • Vanessa commented  · 

    We really need to color coding back for blocked time, it throws everything off!

  • Ms Debra Philyaw commented  · 

    Yes, please...this is a needed feature as we have multiple volunteer providers being a free medical clinic.

  • Anonymous commented  · 

    Please bring back color coding for block time. It does not make any sense to have them all in grey. Need this feature back.

  • Piotr commented  · 

    Please add this.. it'd be very nice if you have multiple providers on same schedule.
