Waiting time for patients cut in half

Written by Guillaume Blanchard, Healthcare Technology Advisor | 27 September, 2017

To improve access to health care, the management of the Clinique Médicale Saint-Louis wanted to free up its phone lines and shorten the morning lineups in its waiting room. After a thorough analysis of the available options, they chose to offer their patients an online appointment booking portal and automated reminders by integrating Petal Booking with their electronic medical record (EMR) KinLogix.

Meeting the Needs of the Clinic

The clinic chose Petal Booking solution because of its flexibility regarding themanagement of physician-patient links, its EMR synchronization and capacity to manage a large volume of appointments. The Clinique médicale Saint-Louis processes about 100,000 patient appointments a year!

Once the solution was in place, the positive results exceeded expectations. Not only did patients have much easier access to health care; physicians saw a drop in their missed appointment rates. As for the administrative staff, they saved precious time by automating several repetitive tasks.
