How To Setup Multi-Clinician on Merlin

This article will walk you through the process of setting up a Multi-Clinician per calendar on your Vetspace Merlin system.

If your calendars are shared or rotated among several clinicians, you will have to place a unique code in your Vetspace Merlin columns to allow the safe identification of all the vets on Vetstoria.

The instructions below will guide you through this process: 

• Right-click on the slot before the first available appointment and 'Unavailable'.

• Add the required code as shown in the example below. (Please note that the addition of the code will take up one appointment slot) 
• You will have to place a "$$" sign before the code (no space in between) to make sure the code is unique. For example $$DM
• This code will need to be added manually for each day in the diary.
• When a vet's shift ends and there is no vet taking over, you will have to block these slots off manually.  

• We identify each "code" into your Vetstoria platform and associate a vet name to it.

Example Scenario

Consider the following example. There are two clipboards (Consult 1 and Consult 2) which are shared by 3 vets. This can be setup as follows:

Vet Name - (Working hours)	Clipboard	Code to be added
Dominic Ryder (14.00 - 14.40)	Esher Merlin	$$DR
Jackie Brown (15.00 - 16.00)	Esher Merlin	$$OF
Jennifer Simons (14.00 - 16.00pm)	Vet consults 1	$$JS

The print screen below shows how the aforementioned setup is emulated on Merlin.
