19.1 Application Coordinator Menu (ACM)
19.1.6 Edit Scheduling Parameters (ESP)
Use this option to set up and maintain facility and system parameters dealing with the
Scheduling functions in PIMS. There are three files involved. The MAS Parameter file
has only one entry and is used for system-wide items such as multi-division yes/no and
appointment search threshold. All other parameters are based on facility and stored in
either the Medical Center Division or the IHS Scheduling Parameter file.
To access ESP, type ESP at the “Select Application Coordinator Menu Option:”
prompt located in the Application Coordinator menu.

Type the time in days for the appointment search threshold at the “Appt Search
Threshold:” prompt. Enter the number of days in the past for which the

system will use two days.
