What’s up? Have you heard about the online appointment scheduling system? Well, I’m sure at least something you might have seen out there, but maybe you don’t know how it works or you know just the basics and you don’t understand exactly why this is good for you. So let’s talk a little bit about it!
Well, the name is already self-explanatory, isn’t it? Online appointment scheduling is a virtual system that provides your online schedule so that your patients can see their free time and can even schedule their appointments, depending on availability (both theirs and yours). You can’t deny how great this looks, can you?
The benefits that can come through online scheduling are many and should not be ignored, as they are positive results like the ones you can achieve with this tool that make your office gain improvements. So let’s go ahead and find out five things that many don’t know about scheduling appointments online!
1) Better management
Have you ever thought how much your time can be optimized using online scheduling? You have access to your schedule and can always check how the schedules are going, without the need for third parties. Being able to make this appointment at any time or anywhere, you no longer need to waste as much time as you would with another type of schedule.
Knowing how many your schedules are going, you gain better control of your time and can organize better!
2) Agility in scheduling online appointments
Through online scheduling, appointments become much faster! The patient can open the agenda and consult the best day for his care and as soon as he chooses the right day, his appointment will be made instantly! What can be better than a quick return, which makes both the patient’s and the doctor’s life easier?
3) Consultation reminder
A positive point that can be seen very well by your patients is the fact that online scheduling allows the person to receive a reminder about the consultation on their cell phone or email.
Much easier, faster, and still avoids the absences that are so harmful to our work. And what else? It still saves your secretary from having to stop service to make confirmation calls, which brings us to our next topic.
4) Quality of service
It is not uncommon that when calling a doctor’s office, the patient ends up waiting longer than necessary to schedule his appointment. This is because the person responsible for this work is usually someone who is already bogged down with various other tasks, such as attending patients who arrive at the clinic or answering questions from those who have just left an appointment. This excess of chores ends up making this person overloaded with his work and that is never good news, is it?
Without having to wait for an attendant or secretary to be unoccupied, sometimes waiting for longer than is necessary on the other end of the line, the patient could have a better service if he was responsible for scheduling his appointment. Online doctors scheduling, in addition to facilitating the life of your patient, who would not need to spend so much time on the phone, having to ask the free days to know which days are good for him, still leaves his assistant’s work more focused and less bogged down.
5) Accessibility
It is almost impossible to point out positive things about scheduling online appointments without highlighting how much accessibility is the greatest asset of this tool. Making your life and that of your patients easier, scheduling can be done through various electronic devices and this can happen when the person finds it most convenient.
Online scheduling is always ready to be used, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day! The relief of knowing that you can make an appointment whenever you want, without having to worry about whether or not the office is within business hours, is a great attraction for patients. Not to mention that all this accessibility only helps you even more in managing your schedules.
