How to Complete the Client Journey

The client journey consists of five steps that you go through when your clients arrive for their treatments, plus a checkout step.

The first three steps are completed by the client: checking personal details, filling out the medical history questionnaire, and signing any relevant consent forms for the booked services.

As the practitioner, you will then complete the final two steps: taking photos and creating a treatment note. Additionally, you can process a payment from within the journey.

Step 1: Start the Client Journey

To initiate a client journey, open the app and navigate to the Journey tab. Here, you can view all the appointments scheduled for the day, and you can select a different day using the date picker at the top of the screen. The list displays clients' names, booked services, appointment statuses, and payment statuses.

Step 2: Access the Appointment

To begin the journey, tap on one of the appointments. The first three steps are to be completed by the client, which include:

• Check Details: Tapping this option allows the client to provide or update their personal details. Once they finish, they need to tap "Save" in the top right corner. The details will be updated in the client card, and the status of this step will change to "Completed".

• Medical History: This step will display the default medical history questionnaire you've set up in your account for the client to complete. If you or the client wish to skip this step, tap "Skip" in the top right corner. You will need to enter your PIN code to skip this step.

• Patient Consent: Depending on your settings, this step will either show the consent form linked to the booked service or a list of all available consent forms. Select the necessary form for the client to complete, sign, and save. If this step needs to be skipped, tap "Skip" in the top right corner and provide your PIN code to proceed.

Step 3: Complete Client Steps

Once the first three steps are finished, tap "Complete" and enter your PIN. This action will reveal the next two steps of the journey: Photos and Treatment Note.

• Photos: Tapping on this option will activate the device camera, allowing you to take photos. If you wish to use a photo, select "Use Photo" or choose "Retake" to capture a new one.

  After selecting a photo, tap the X button in the top right corner to exit the camera and enter the editing mode, where you can draw on the photo or use the injection plotting tool.

  When finished, tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the photo to the client card.

• Treatment Notes: Depending on your settings, this step will display either the treatment form linked to the booked service or a list of all treatment forms. Complete the form and save it.

Step 4: Add Additional Forms

If you need to add more forms, tap the plus sign in the top right corner of the screen and select the desired form.

Step 5: Checkout the Appointment

You can also check out the appointment directly from the journey. To do this, tap "Checkout" in the bottom right corner to open the Point of Sale and follow the steps outlined in this article.

Step 6: Complete the Journey

To complete the journey, tap "Complete." The status of the appointment in the Journey tab will update to 'Completed,' and the payment status will show as Paid.
