How to request an appointment on Axium

Axium: Appointment Scheduler

  1. You will only be able to see 1 floor at a time on your “chair” view. In the bottom row of chairs, you will see each GP labeled and your chair reserves within that GP. In the top row, you will see the various treatment disciplines noted, and the faculty coverage listed on the bottom.
  2. Once you have used a chair reserve to book the appointment, it will be noted in the appropriate color in the bottom row within your GP. You must then click and drag the appointment and drop it into the appropriate place in the top row in order to reserve your spot.
  3. Your chair that you have selected in the top row will be your chair that you are to work in. There will be no more daily seating assignments; it will now be already noted on the chair view.
  4. Once the treatment discipline has been filled in the top row, YOU CANNOT BOOK ANOTHER CHAIR. Therefore, if there is “blank” box in the top row, it should remain empty.
  5. It is very important to use the “reason” section of your appointment request to write specifically what you are doing for that appointment. Do not just write “operative”. Write “#2 DO” or “#12 Post and Core”. Faculty coverage will be determined on a daily basis depending on the specific procedures.
  6. You will notice that each floor is symmetrical. On floor 2, GP’s 5 and 6 can book any of the chairs in the top left section for Treatment Planning and General Dentistry. GP’s 7 and 8 can book any of the chairs in the top right section for Treatment Planning and General Dentistry. Prosth is always in the second section (previously GP6), and Perio is always in the 3rd section (previously GP7). The specialties are now first come, first served for the entire floor. The layout is identical on the 3rd floor and the same booking rules apply.
  7. Any “GD” chairs noted that are not within the far top left and top right sections, are also “bonus” first come, first served chairs. You are able to book these across the floor as well. These are not available every session so look carefully.
  8. Below you will see an example. TP/GD are noted in the top left, and top right sections to be used by sister GP’s. Prosth is noted in the 2nd section. There are 6 “bonus” GD chairs covered by Dr. Freunlich in this section as well. These are available to the entire floor as stated above. All Perio are in the 3rd section. “PEF” denotes perio faculty (use the numbers on the bottom to book treatment plans and instrumentation the same way as before). “PEH” denotes hygiene, and “PER” denotes perio resident. The bottom row denotes each GP, and will show your chair reserves.
  9. “TP” chairs should be reserved for TPU’s and TXP’s. GD chairs should be used for operative, perio, prosth that you would do with GD, and TPW’s.
  10. If there is an opening on the opposite side of the floor for TP/GD, you may use the 48 hour rule to book after obtaining permission from the appropriate director. Example: If you are in GP 1 or 2, and you see an opening in GP’s 3/4 and it is within 48hrs, you may book there with permission. You can never switch floors.
