Calendar booking refers to the process of scheduling patient appointments using a digital calendar system. This system allows healthcare providers to manage and organise their appointments efficiently, offering a visual overview of available time slots, booked appointments, and upcoming patient visits. Calendar booking systems often integrate with electronic health records (EHR) and practice management software, providing real-time updates and automated reminders to both patients and providers. This technology enhances operational efficiency, reduces administrative workload, and minimises scheduling conflicts, ensuring a smooth and streamlined appointment process. For patients, calendar booking offers the convenience of easily booking, rescheduling, or canceling appointments online, improving access to healthcare services and overall patient satisfaction.
