How does Instinct EMR handle Daylight Saving Time?

Be prepared and know what to expect in Instinct EMR as Daylight Saving Time falls back or springs forward! Click here to see if/when your DST occurs!


Status Boards & Treatment Sheets

Following human medical best practices, all treatment orders will maintain their scheduled frequencies (i.e. q2, q4, q6…) so that important treatments and their schedules are not altered.

This means that any treatments that were originally scheduled on even hours will change to odd hours after 12AM (and vice versa) until the patient is (a) checked out or (b) the order is edited.

🍂 Fall Back:

The 1AM hour will be displayed twice on the treatment sheet and when selecting a start time as shown below:

Scheduling a treatment to start on the first 1AM block will create an even hour frequency; where starting a treatment on the second 1AM block will create an odd hour frequency.


🌼 Spring Forward:

The 2AM hour will be missing on the treatment sheet and when selecting a start time as shown below:

💡 ProTip: If needed, use our Bulk Edit feature to quickly reschedule any existing treatments after DST!


Appointment & Events Calendars

Unlike the Status Boards and Treatment Sheets, the Appointment & Event Calendars will display and function as normal except for some minor differences depending on the season DST is occurring in.

🍂 Fall Back:

During the Fall Back, the Appointment & Event Calendars will display only one 1AM hour and the time bar will simply change from 1:59AM back to 1:00AM during DST. Availability blocks will also only display one 1AM hour, but the Open Appts and Time Duration will indicate one hour more than what is displayed, as seen below.

🌼 Spring Forward:

During Spring Forward, the Appointment & Event Calendars will display the 2AM hour, but the time bar will change from 1:59AM to 3:00AM, skipping the 2AM hour. Availability blocks will also display the 2AM hour, but the Open Appts and Time Duration will indicate one hour less than what is displayed.


Time Stamps

Throughout Instinct EMR, time stamps will continue to be documented in Charts, Comm Logs, RX panel, ect. with the current time, as this information is based on the time and time zone settings of your operating system.
