Attendance Report

The Attendance Report shows patients seen by a doctor and includes their billed items and whether the invoices were paid. It can be used for doctors to check, and as a statement of daily activity for locums and employee doctors.

Using the report

While it is a useful report for quickly checking daily activity, it shouldn't be used to calculate income or accounting purposes. The best report for those scenarios is the Transaction/ GST Report.

An attendance is a single patient/doctor encounter that may generate one or more invoices. The Attendance Report will show one encounter but may have 4 billing items, but the Transaction Report/GST Report will show 4 invoices. More than one attendance record may exist for one day as a result of a second, distinct patient/doctor encounter created using the Attendance Form.

If the Arrival Time for the patient's attendance is shown as 6.00 am, this is because the bill was created through Patient Details/Bill (not Waiting Room/Bill), and the Attendance Form was not used to record the specific arrival time. The invoice that was created using Patient Details/Bill automatically creates an Attendance report record, but sets the time to 6.00 am.
