Beacon Scheduling Basics

Beacon Treatment Plan Infusion Appointment Scheduling - (Handout) Treatment Plans are used for chemotherapy treatment and other treatments involving infusion therapies. These plans will generate an infusion appointment request scheduling order. Scheduling staff for locations where infusion therapies are provided will use a Treatment Plan Scheduling workqueue to schedule and modify appointments for these therapies.
Oncology Scheduling (ONC080) - (eLearning: 10 min) Schedule new and modified oncology appointment requests.

Creating a Singular Infusion Visit with Multiple Plans- (Handout) When a patient has multiple infusion plans that need to be scheduled for the same date, the infusion appointment requests can be linked to a singular visit and scheduled in one appointment. The visit length must be updated to account for both plans’ infusion time needs.
Scheduling an Injection for a Clinic Visit - (Handout) When it is appropriate for patients to receive their injection treatments during their clinic visit rather than having an additional infusion visit the same day, these orders should be indicated as a clinic injection in the treatment plan. Schedulers will link the injection appointment to the clinic visit instead of scheduling a separate infusion visit. Providers/nurses who administer the injection will scan and document charges appropriately.

Filtering Workqueues - (Handout) Workqueues can be filtered and saved as favorites to provide quick and easy access to the most commonly used workqueues.
