Booking Rules and Visit Types

Getting the right patient into the right slot length with the right provider.

Getting the right patient into the right slot length with the right provider.

Rushed scheduling produces wrong visit types, wrong providers and double-bookings. Each one costs more to fix than it would have cost to prevent, and the cost lands on a different person than the one who made the error.

What goes wrong today

Rushed scheduling produces wrong visit types, wrong providers and double-bookings. Each one costs more to fix than it would have cost to prevent, and the cost lands on a different person than the one who made the error.

What good looks like

Booking that applies your configured rules every time — visit type, duration, provider constraints, new versus established — without the time pressure that produces mistakes.

  • Visit-type and duration rules per provider
  • New vs established patient logic
  • Constraints honoured under peak load
  • Waitlist capture when nothing suitable is free

What to measure

Pick these before you change anything, so the effect is visible rather than anecdotal.

  • Downstream corrections per week
  • Double-booking incidents
  • Share booked to the correct visit type
