Diagnode has developed a special video platform that is highly secure and unique in the market. Each video appointment has its own special link that only you and the patient can use. You can initiate the video session by opening your link, and the patient can join by opening theirs as well. The great thing is that this video platform operates directly in the web browser, so neither you nor your patients need to download any additional apps. Additionally, there’s a virtual waiting room where patients can easily check in for their scheduled telehealth appointments and wait until it’s their turn to be seen

Our appointment scheduling system is designed to enhance the patient booking process by taking various factors into account. These factors include the type of appointment needed, GP referrals, the availability of practitioners, and the urgency of the medical condition. By considering these factors, the system guides patients towards the most suitable appointment options.

For existing patients, the experience is made even smoother with pre-filled forms and the ability to update their information. The system also keeps patients informed about expired GP referrals and allows them to upload screenshots and images to aid in communication. Additionally, an advanced NLP (Natural Language Processing) algorithm extracts referral details automatically. To cater to diverse patient needs, the system provides flexibility with options such as video consultations, telephone appointments, or in-clinic visits.

Practitioners can also block out times in their calendar to indicate unavailability and prevent scheduling conflicts. Integrating seamlessly with popular calendar platforms such as Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, the system ensures consistent and up-to-date availability. As a result, the appointment booking experience is significantly improved for both practitioners and patients.

This increased flexibility improves convenience, reduces administrative tasks, and enhances overall efficiency and accuracy.

Our system allows you to personalise appointment types according to your preferences. You have the flexibility to configure options for both initial appointments and follow-ups independently.

This high level of customisation empowers you to optimise your appointment management, aligning it seamlessly with your workflow and meeting your unique requirements. The configurable system enhances efficiency, improves the patient experience, and streamlines operations throughout the scheduling process.
