iconpractice allows you to have multiple practice locations sharing a common patient database. This allows you to easily share patient accounts and clinical records between practices. Practitioner numbers for the purposes of your subscription plan are calculated from the total number of practitioners across all practices, so if you have a practitioner who works in two or more practices, they only count once towards your quota.
If you have to or more practices but you don't want to share the patient database, we can create a separate iconpractice instance for you, but the same arrangement applies for practitioners that are shared - i.e. you are only billed once. To arrange that please email support.
When you first created your iconpractice account a practice was created for you. To manage that or to create a new practice, go to Settings->Practices. From there click New to create a new practice, or Edit on the respective line to edit an existing practice.
Creating a New Practice
When creating a new practice you can enter the details in their respective fields. On clicking "Add" the settings from your first practice will all be duplicated into the new practice including opening hours, diary settings, online booking settings and practitioner hours. Edit each of these for your new clinic in their respective section in Settings.
You will also need to allocate practitioners and users to each practice. Do this via the Settings->Practitioners and Settings->Users sections, clicking Edit for the respective person, then tick the new clinic in the "Associated Practices" section then Save. Users will need to logout then log in again to access the new practice after being given access.
Online Booking
Each practice will have it's own online booking link which you can find at the bottom of the Settings->Diary Settings->Online Bookings section.
Switching Between Practices
When a user with access to more than one practice logs in they will be asked to select the practice they wish to access. Thereafter if they wish to change to another practice they can click on the clinic name in the top right of the screen (except in the Diary screen), then click on the practice they wish to access.
