Client Requirements

The client required an integrated system to allow patients to easily book appointments with physicians.

Patients needed a transparent way to check doctors’ availability without delays or manual intervention.

A simple and accessible platform was needed to enhance the booking experience for both patients and healthcare providers.

Challenges

Manual Scheduling Process

Patients had to call clinics to check availability, leading to inefficiencies and scheduling errors.

Lack of Real-Time Updates

Doctors’ schedules were not dynamically updated, causing booking conflicts and delays.

Limited Accessibility

During COVID-19, patients faced difficulties booking appointments without physical visits.

Patient Dissatisfaction

Frustration grew due to long wait times and uncertainty in appointment confirmations.

Solutions
  • Due to the nature of our client’s industry, which involves healthcare providers, there are numerous situations where patients want a flexible and user-friendly system to have a positive experience, such as when determining the doctor’s availability and making an appointment. Customers of our clients during COVID faced the same difficulty in arranging appointments with doctors and learning about their availability because they were unable to visit the clinic physically.
  • We suggested a special combination of our patient Salesforce community portal with a special Google Calendar API to link the doctor’s calendar to solve this problem. Patients may simply check for open time slots and planned appointments at their convenience using the custom lightning components thanks to this integration, which enables doctors to change their availability in real-time in their calendar.
  • We made sure that the scheduling procedure was comfortable and simple for patients and doctors by utilizing Google Calendar, a commonly utilized and well-known tool. The former manual calling system’s delays and uncertainty were eliminated by the integration, which also increased patient retention and satisfaction for the healthcare provider. The integration also improved how doctors managed their schedules, which led to more production and efficiency.
