01 Oct 2025: 🏋️ Patient Events
We’re excited to introduce Patient Events — a new way for clinics to schedule structured, non-clinical time directly into a patient’s calendar.
Think of this as a “self-appointment” for patients — events that don’t require a clinician, don’t include video calls, and don’t need attendance tracking — but still appear seamlessly within the patient’s schedule. 🗓️
✨ What’s New
➕ Add Patient Events from the Patient Appointments Screen
A new + Patient Event button has been added to the Patient Appointments screen.
When selected, it opens a modal with the following fields:
-
Event Name (required)
-
Description (optional)
-
Date (required)
-
Start Time (required)
-
End Time (required)
-
Location (optional)
-
Room (optional)
-
Internal Note (optional)
🧍 Designed for Non-Clinical, Patient-Only Events
These events are ideal for structured activities such as:
-
📖 30-minute reading time
-
🏋️ 60-minute gym session
-
🚶 2-hour off-site leave
-
🧘 Meditation time
-
📚 Study blocks
They are:
-
✅ Patient-only (no clinician or other patient involved)
-
❌ No video calls attached
-
❌ No attendance status required (Attended / DNA / Cancelled not applicable)
-
❌ No email or push reminders triggered
📱 Fully Integrated into the Patient Schedule
Patient Events will:
-
Appear in the Patient Appointments page
-
Be visible in Upcoming Appointments within the mobile app and Patient Web Portal (PWP)
-
Be included in the PDF printout of the Patient Schedule
Note: As with existing logic, the PDF schedule excludes cancelled items and only displays Booked/Attended events.
🔁 Editable & Flexible
Patient Events can be:
-
✏️ Rescheduled
-
🗑️ Deleted
This ensures flexibility while maintaining structure within inpatient or residential workflows.
💡 How It Helps
🏥 Supports Residential & Treatment Facilities
For clinics where patients remain onsite for extended periods, this feature enables:
-
Structured daily planning
-
Clear time allocation
-
Visual reinforcement of therapeutic routines
-
Operational clarity for staff
It allows clinics to manage the full day schedule, not just clinical sessions.
📲 Improves Patient Experience
Patients now see:
-
A more complete and structured daily plan
-
Non-clinical therapeutic activities alongside appointments
-
A clearer overview of their time
This supports routine, accountability, and engagement — particularly valuable in inpatient, rehab, and recovery settings.
🖨️ Clean Operational Documentation
Including Patient Events in the schedule PDF allows:
-
Clear printed daily schedules
-
Easier handovers between staff
-
Better documentation of structured care environments
This release enhances Wellifiy’s scheduling capability by recognising that meaningful care extends beyond clinician-led sessions.
Structured time matters — and now it’s visible. ✨
