What is the purpose of 'Stat Scheduling' in Epic Prelude?

The purpose of 'Stat Scheduling' in Epic Prelude is primarily to facilitate urgent appointment arrangements, ensuring that immediate patient care needs are prioritized. This feature is specifically designed for situations where prompt medical attention is crucial, allowing healthcare providers to schedule patients rapidly in response to acute conditions or exigencies that cannot wait for standard appointment slots. This capability enhances the overall efficiency and responsiveness of the healthcare system, contributing to better patient outcomes by reducing wait times for those who require timely intervention.

In contrast, other options such as creating waitlists, focusing solely on non-urgent visits, or managing staff schedules do not align with the primary objective of Stat Scheduling, which is about addressing urgent care needs promptly.
