Show when you’re out of office (OOO)

How do I create an out of office?

Updated this week

Showing when you’re out of office helps keep your team informed about your availability and ensures patient communication is properly managed. By setting clear OOO times, clinicians can coordinate coverage and maintain continuity of care without confusion.

Here are the steps to create an out of office block in your Carepatron calendar, including multi-day or multi-week unavailability settings for extended leave:

  1. Navigate to the Calendar page.

  2. Click the +New button.

  3. Select the Out of Office (OOO) tab.

  4. Specify the start date and time:

    • Choose the first day for the out-of-office period.

    • Set the start time to 12:00 AM and the end time to 11:59 PM to block off the entire day.

  5. Use the repeat feature for multiple days:

    • In the "Doesn't repeat" menu, select recurrences.

    • Choose repeat settings such as Every 1 day for consecutive days or set to weekly, every two weeks, or monthly.

  6. Check and expand any default repeat limits if necessary:

    • If there is a default limit (e.g., 10 occurrences), use options like "See More" to extend and ensure all intended dates are blocked.

  7. Once you've finalized your selections, click Done and then Create.
