Customizing the Routing Slip
YAPI's Routing Slip is a digital replacement for paper routing slips and is a space to note information about a patient's visit as they're finishing their appointment. We know every practice is different, so we've made the Quick Notes section of the Routing Slip customizable. Follow the instructions below to tailor this section of the Routing Slip to the needs of your practice.
Note: To remove or turn on the Routing Slip, see Enabling & Disabling the Routing Slip.
