# Doctor Desktop

The **Doctor Desktop** screen helps doctors quickly access **Patient Insights** (summarized **Medical Records** information) from a single screen without multiple navigations. In addition, doctors can access appointment, visit and financial information from the same screen.

The screen also supports **Visit Management, Appointment Creation, Waiting List Management** and **Task Management (To-Dos /** **Reminders)** for follow-up activities and reminders. Doctors can **Start Consultation** directly from the screen.

***

## Overview

The screen includes three panels: **Left**, **Center,** and **Right Panel**.

**Left Panel** displays two tabs: **Appointments** and **Waiting List**. The **Appointments** tab includes the **In-Clinic** and **Booked Appointment** sections for visit and appointment management. The **Waiting List** tab is used for waiting list management. In addition, the panel displays the **Doctor** details, **Refresh** and **Show/Hide** icons.

**Center Panel** displays **Patient Summary (Past Visit Summary)**, **Allergy Details**, **Highlights**, **Chronic Conditions**, **Past Medications**, **Family/Social History**, **Surgical/Vaccine Details**, **Vitals**, **Visit History**, **Consultation Notes**, and the **Start Consultation** action. In addition, the panel includes the **Date Calendar** to show the records for the selected date.

**Right Panel** includes two sections. The first section displays visit count and status details in tab view. The second section is **To-Dos / Reminders** to create and manage tasks and reminders for the day.
