Coordinating Appointment Scheduling

Challenges in Appointment Scheduling for others

Managing patient appointment scheduling can be a daunting task for caregivers and healthcare facilities. Long phone wait times, double bookings, and missed appointments are common issues that can impact the quality of care and patient satisfaction.  As an adult caregiver of aging parents, you may be making appointments while on the phone and the family chat.  

As the appointment maker, but not the appointment taker, it can be easy to forgot about the upcoming appointment.  With a system that lists all upcoming appointments, it makes it much easier to hold your siblings accountable and/or make sure that an important appointment does not get missed and than booked for 6 months later.

The Importance of utilizing a coordination tool 

Streamlining care coordination results in less missed appointments, better control of health with timely feedback and guidance from health professionals.  In addition, a coordinated care process eliminates healthcare  cancellation fees with everyone on the same calendar.
