Operatories

An operatory is a chair, column or room in a practice where providers see patients.

Most practices use operatories, but not all. To check, call GET /locations/:id and read the map_by_operatory attribute. If it is true, you must send an operatory_id when you book an appointment at that location.

Double booking
The Synchronizer API treats operatories as the limiting resource when it calculates availability. A practice can book a provider in more than one operatory at the same time. An operatory cannot hold more than one appointment at the same time.
