Previously, RIS only supported the Gregorian calendar, and while most people in Israel use this calendar day-to-day, it is helpful in some cases to be able to tell the patient the equivalent date from the Hebrew calendar when scheduling the patient.

With this change, users with Clinical.Schedule.HebrewDates and Clinical.AppointmentsBooked.HebrewDates permissions can right-click any date headers from the appointment search results (either Details or Summary tab) or the Appontment Book to switch between the Hebrew and Gregorian calendar date formats.

Information Icon

Note that the calendar swap is temporary - the date will remain in Hebrew while the screen is open (and will persist across searches) but will revert when the screen is closed.
