Our practices are now commonly using a 3rd appointment column to display pending notes and followup for vets and nurse - using a custom appointment type.

The worklists almost never get a look in

People want a one stop view so they get a good picture of the daily work.

Ideally create a view that can contain a mixture of 1-3 appointment columns and a 3rd colum which displays a worklist or 2.  Its a lot of screen realestate  I know.  On small screens it may not work - but screens are getting wider and bigger and some are using mutiple screens. 

Those using multi screen are fine - those using 1 are limited  - you can sort of do it with multiple windows but a lot gets taken up in browser clutter.
