Time zone look up feature:
This program now has a feature to lookup and display the time zone of your
patient record. It bases its logic on the area code you enter.
The time zones for all phone numbers in the U.S.A. or Canada are calculated
and displayed. Internally, the program maintains this time zone phrasing:
Time Definition of time zone:
Zone:
PST = Pacific Standard Time
MST = Mountain Standard Time
CST = Central Standard Time
EST = Eastern Standard Time
AST = Atlantic Standard Time
WATS = Wide Area Telephone Service
[800 Service]
Hawaii = Area code 808
Alaska = Area code 907
Other = Area code 809
[Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Barbados,
and the Caribbean Islands.]
In those cases where one area code contains two time zones, the program
will display it accordingly, such as:
Nebraska Plumbing, 10:30 AM [402/CST,MST:U.S.A.]
This information is displayed in five locations:
Patient Add screen
Patient Get screen
Activity Get screen
Callback Data Sheet
Greeting screen, prior entering program
The initial Greeting screen, for example, would display this information
while in the test data, with the system date set to 1-3-86:

Another example of how the program will display this data can be observed
in this screen fragment from the Callback Data Sheet, found in the Callback
section of the Activity menu:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
-- Callback Data Sheet for Friday, January 3, 1986 -- |
Mr. John D. Cauble, Jr. [Salutation = John D.] |
(214)357-5454 [214/CST:U.S.A.] |

AM/PM Conventions used:
On those activity records where you enter a callback date and time, the
program uses this generally accepted convention in performing its indexing
and searching:
Definition of AM:
Midnight
Hour [12 hour clock] 12:00 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Hour [24 hour clock] 00:00 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Definition of PM:
Noon:
Hour [12 hour clock] 12:00 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Hour [24 hour clock] 12:00 13 14 15 16 17 18 18 20 21 22 23
If, for example, you wish to establish a callback time of 15 minutes after
midnight, you would enter this time:
12:15 AM
Intuitively, one might think to enter "00:15", though this would be
incorrect.
Another example would be in the instance where you wish to make an
appointment at 30 minutes after a noon lunch. You would then enter:
12:30 PM
As you create activities, you enter the callback times, if any, in an AM/PM
form. By default, all reports will then be printed out in this format.
If, however, you want the reports to display the callback time in a 24 hour
format, then go to this menu:
