A medical appointment is a scheduled meeting between a patient and a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, specialist, or therapist, to receive medical care or consultation. It involves a specific date, time, and location agreed upon by both the patient and the healthcare provider to address the patient’s healthcare needs.
Managing these appointments, along with other tasks like records keeping, patient communication and billing fall under the scope of practice management in healthcare, a critical component in ensuring a smoothly functioning healthcare facility.
