Online Bookings, DVA Fees Update, Safe Script
Online bookings are a great way to increase appointment volumes, improve patient satisfaction and reduce administrative requirements. A recent study by CBA showed that 89% of patients have a preference for booking appointments online.
As such, we are adding online bookings to PrimaryClinic. We would love for you to tell us what you think about online appointment bookings. Please complete this quick survey to tell us how an online booking solution should look for you and your patients.
Take control of your online appointment bookings and link this feature with your own PrimaryClinic Practice system. Your patients or staff can book and schedule appointments directly from their phone, computer or laptop. Your practice managers can tailor the appointment availability times to suit your clinic’s hours. The platform gives you the option to take payments from users upon booking the appointment.
Ask us how we can set up online bookings for your practice and have it sync with your appointment books in PrimaryClinic today.
