Formatting CSVs for Appointments

Written by Jennifer Siggia

DeepScribe offers the ability for users to bulk upload your patient schedule via CSV in the Appointments page. If you are using the template to upload a CSV, refer to the below requirements.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure the file type you are uploading is .csv!


Steps to Manually Upload your Schedule

  1. Produce a report from your EHR with the following fields (Patient Name, Gender, Pronoun (if available), Time, Date, Visit Type, Provider).

  2. Edit the spreadsheet to make sure the Column Headers match the DeepScribe Ready template file (attached below)/the section names outlined above exactly AND ensure your date formatting matches the sample format (Important note: capitalization and spelling are important here, or the upload will fail)

  3. Add the Pronoun Column (Important note: leave the pronoun fields blank but keep the heading)

  4. Save your document as a CSV

  5. Log into canvas.deepscribe.ai and click on Appointments tab

  6. Click on Add Appointment

  7. Click up Bulk Upload

  8. Click to Select File

  9. Click Add Appointments to List

  10. Once they upload, click Add Appointments
