ISS is my new nemesis. WHY would you make a scheduling program that times out after like 10-15 min?

I see the VHA has finally caught up to the VBA in that regard!

Is ISS replacing VSE? It has been nice being able to see if someone is checked in.

My understanding was that ISS is replacing GUI...I hope not VSE. Any idea how to see a full week of a provider's schedule (multiple clinics)?

Nope. Apparently, allowing a provider to simply view a straightforward "heads up display"/ GUI of his/her appointments has never been a priority for VA, despite the technology for doing so having been around (and mainstream) since at least Windows 3.11.

Making things easy/efficient for front-line providers isn't exactly a VA organizational strength.

Yeah you can select the provider (yourself) and I see all my clinics and the times. Then I see the vets displayed going from left to right

Yup, ISS is replacing GUI. I will miss GUI.

I don't even think we had "GUI" implemented at our site (what was it?).

I can only see one day at a time with all my clinics showing

VSE or Vista Scheduling GUI. It's not great, but was way better than ISS.

Have you changed the view to "Monthly" under preferences?

Yes, that appears to only change thing when you search by clinic but doesn't have an impact on the view when searching by provider
