Written by Brent Wiggins | Nov 25, 2024 3:00:00 PM

In behavioral healthcare, the quality of patient care often begins with the quality of scheduling. That's why we're proud to introduce Internal Availability, a feature designed to enhance the patient experience through intelligent schedule management.

Making Time for What Matters

When scheduling works better, healing happens faster. Internal Availability transforms how practices manage appointment scheduling, ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time with the right provider.

Creating Better Patient Experiences

1. Improved Access to Care: By optimizing provider schedules, we've dramatically reduced wait times for appointments. Patients can now be matched more effectively with provider availability, ensuring faster access to specialized services when they need them most.

2. Enhanced Treatment Consistency: Scheduling recurring appointments becomes seamless, while group therapy coordination improves through better schedule management. The result? Smoother transitions between different levels of care and more consistent treatment delivery.

3. Better Crisis Response: With dedicated emergency slot allocation and improved schedule visibility, practices can respond more effectively to crisis situations while maintaining regular appointment schedules.

Real Impact on Patient Outcomes

Practices using Internal Availability report shorter wait times, fewer scheduling conflicts, and improved patient satisfaction. When providers can better manage their time, they can focus more energy on what truly matters – patient care.
