02

Booked appointment

An appointment recorded in the approved calendar with required identity, treatment, time, and source fields.

Attended appointment

A booking marked attended by an authorized practice workflow or system integration.

A permitted revenue or production value tied to the agreed attribution model and data governance rules.
