Work Effortlessly
Karisma supports single, double and multiple service bookings; with pre-determined criteria ensuring accurate,
conflict-free scheduling. Karisma allows for all levels of scheduling from a single site to a centralised booking
system for multi-site practices. Similarly, some organisations choose to schedule all patient requests, while
others only schedule the services and scanning equipment that are heavily utilised. Karisma’s intuitive interface
gives you an easy way to move scheduled appointments from one room to another – simply drag the
appointment in the diary and drop it where you want it. Even altering the length of the appointment is a snap
– just resize the block with your mouse.
Save Time
Features like a quick double click to create an appointment and straightforward entry of the patient
and services details make Karisma a cinch to use. Appointments you enter are saved automatically,
so there’s no need to worry.

Book Intelligent Appointments
Get Rich Information
Reserving space in a
weekly schedule means
the problem of double
booking appointments
can be avoided.
For flexibility, in instances
where you know a
double booking is
possible, you can override
Karisma’s alert and slot
in your second booking
where it’s needed.
Easily extract a wealth of
information in regards to
scheduled appointments
including relevant patient
details, request and
services information - just
hover the mouse or click
away. In the on-screen
diary, Karisma displays the
patient name, gender and
contact details as well as
preparation notes for the
active appointment.

See Things Differently
Manage Your Resources
To get an immediate
overview of everything
that’s going on in the
practice/department,
you can switch between
resource views during the
scheduling process. Zoom
in to a place on the diary
to see further details
for appointments and
zoom out to get a quick
overview of the day.
With Karisma’s in-depth
resource management,
you can set up recurring
conditions such as
“Reserved for Children”
to affect the availability
of particular resources
directly from the diary.
You can also distribute
resource forecasts and
appointment sheets with
the press of a button.

Get Helpful Suggestions
Add Personal Touches
To save you the trouble
of deciding on an
appointment time,
Karisma will automatically
suggest one based on
the available slots and
the required resources.
You can accept the
suggestion and schedule
the appointment, or
select another time
suitable to your practice
and the patient.
Vertical diary view
Horizontal diary view
Because not everybody likes to do things the same way, Karisma gives you the unique flexibility to select
either vertical or horizontal layouts. Whatever suits you. For further personal touches, the number and order
of resources in each view can be set differently for each user.

Cover Your Steps
When a single exam requires more than one step, Karisma will take everything into account and give you the
ideal way to book the examination to maximise patient comfort and your resources. The steps, the resources
and any waiting time in between that is needed, will all be set according to your available times - so you don’t
need to rack your brains to schedule a complex procedure.
Book Multiple Modalities
With appointments that need more than one exam across various resources, Karisma has you covered.
Whenever you schedule multiple examinations in a single appointment, Karisma gives you a suggested time
and place for each exam depending on current bookings and the order of the exams. You’ll even be offered
alternative resources and schedules if more are available.
