Tinder is a great source of business motivation and learning!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">One of the major reasons Tinder is able to continue dominating the market is the way it allows users to make choices by simply swiping right and left.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the <strong>easiest and engaging way<\/strong> a platform can ever give to its users to quickly satisfy their intent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Imagine what if users themselves had to find profiles on Tinder?&nbsp; They would never have used it on the scale they are using it now!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the power of <strong>ease of use and engaging app navigation<\/strong>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply the same concept in your appointment booking system. <strong>Here is how it works.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; Doctors create their profiles by adding all important information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; Patients also create their profiles by adding all personal and health card information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; Patients swipe doctors\u2019 profiles similar to Tinder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; Patients explore the profile of each doctor along with other details such as fees, availability, language etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; Patients swipe right to send an appointment request with preferred time and date to the selected doctor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; Doctor approves or rejects the appointment request.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Following is the UI we recently designed to give you a better idea.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/FoyUJgjwBsZdD2tvToGra3rUuV56EGexFM8JsLAyNC7XgniFx9S2CR6RIkfMK7yVsWaIaF22E_ywxssQQmGMjJxTlxmOxnOlDmo9pPrcX2W4Q3VG3HcXpD4QUpB07yt-0y49fg4z\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"416\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your Tinder-inspired appointment booking system for clinics feature-rich in addition to fun and innovative, you can <strong>consider<\/strong> <strong>adding telemedicine features with EMR\/EHR integration<\/strong> that results in seamless and real-time data transfer between EMR\/EHR and your healthcare appointment booking solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. <span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Patient appointment booking with virtual assistant or chatbot<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appointment booking with clinicians can be time-consuming and tedious for many patients if they are seeking any urgent but non-life-threatening care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Many waste more time in finding a clinician they are looking for as per their availability and medical need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To free patients from all such time-consuming tasks, <strong>a virtual assistant or chatbot<\/strong> plays a crucial role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It asks a few questions to patients with suggested answers that patients just need to select to explain their clinical requirements and availability.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Based on these given inputs, the virtual assistant itself understands the actual needs of the patients and books appointments with the clinician who is available on a patient\u2019s time and most suitable.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This entire process <strong>takes hardly 2-3 minutes<\/strong> as every time-consuming and tedious task is managed by the virtual assistant which works faster and accurately than patients!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>To make this idea even more epic<\/strong>, you can add voice control to let patients book appointments by just giving voice commands!<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/Si5rWy-8XEqi9_mZYCMmw1O5D5r_pWOEe2POiq6VtZZ3UMxpg3ztM8YOL8YniAfAzFftGVFmXngxARIEZ5ob8tmoYDIDtiz_8fqSwCOeBkiXQy33ZfSBIUAhni0elfxlH8kkbQ03\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"374\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. <span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Instagram-styled appointment booking solution<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to build an appointment booking solution for clinics in 2021, you must prioritize <strong>patient-doctor relations<\/strong> and add features around it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because, in a typical healthcare scheduling system, there is no way doctors can manage good relations with their patients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also crucial in the post-pandemic world to let doctors and patients connect for more than just clinical purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">An Instagram-styled appointment booking platform is the most innovative solution here. It enables patients to not just book direct appointments with the clinician but also be part of the clinician&#8217;s life by following him along with their other favourite clinicians.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Instagram, clinicians can share images from their clinical and non-clinical life where patients can react and <strong>establish a strong connection with clinicians<\/strong> with a private chat option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinicians can also conduct a live stream and talk to their group of patients to sustain a good patient-doctor relation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">This way, the Instagram-styled appointment booking platform not only serves a direct appointment booking purpose but also empowers clinicians with an image-based knowledge-sharing and patient engagement platform.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>There is always a way to do it in a better way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you find it<\/strong>, we are happy to technologically achieve it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And when we find it<\/strong> (like today\u2019s better appointment booking ways), we can of course technologically achieve it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the question is, <span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><em><strong>will you dare to step out of comfort and embrace a better way to run medical practice?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content team member: \u201cLet\u2019s write a useful blog on the appointment booking system for clinics as it is a basic need of every clinician.\u201d Content team lead: \u201cPeople have written a lot on the healthcare appointment booking system.
