# Appointment

### Overview&#x20;

The Appointment section for referring providers allows them to manage patient referrals efficiently. There are three main tabs: Pending, Completed, and Cancelled, each representing the status of the referral request.

* In this tab, referral requests from patients are displayed.
* Basic details of the patient, such as name, date of birth, last visit date, referral creation date, requested specialization, and reason for referral, are shown.
* Referring providers have two options: approve or decline the referral.
  1. If the referral is approved, a pop-up screen appears where the referring provider must provide a reason before submitting.<br>
