When patients are arrived the system, there is no time stamp of arrival. We need to see the time of arrival. This has come up in 2 court cases and we were not able to give exact time of arrival

For purposes of tracking patient times, we have used the date/time stamp on the update to the appointment record. We are using a separate PM system, but this data is passed to GE EMR. Otherwise, all of our appointments would only still be in scheduled status.
You may want to experiment with the RPTAPPT (or other) files to see if the APPTSTATUS is updated.
One of four numeric values indicating the appointment's current status.
0 Scheduled
1 No show (patient missed appointment)
2 Canceled
3 Arrived

There is a arrived time stamp associated with the appointment on the schedule. If you highlight an appointment on the schedule and then go to View>appointment activity list. It will give you the time your staff arrived the patient (providing they modify the appointment status as the patient arrives). You can do this for older appointments as well but will need to change your schedule view.

Yes, the first column shows the date and time it was modified.

How do you change your schedule view to see old appointments? Our Schedule is visible for one month after the appointment date, I didnt know there was a way to see anything older than that

You guys are great, Thank you. I have also found a script you can run on the db server that will give you the time that the registration was touched and also the exact arrival time. We have had to use this due to some front office staff forgetting to arrive a patient or finally arriving them later. I can now prove when they worked the registration and arrived.
select * from Patientprofile where last = '<pt last name>' (execute)
<select the profile id>
select * from Activitylog where PatientProfileId ='<profileid>'

When you are in the schedule, beside the date there are 3 choices: day, week or list. If you choose the list it will show all appointment for that date. It is not in the same format as the daily schedule but works well if you need to look back at a date.
