Unlike other systems that simply send an appointment request to administrative staff, the Petal platform integrates with the health facilities existing technologies to enable the patient to book an appointment in real-time. Administrative staff are no longer interrupted in their work, operations are simplified, and the patient care pathway is improved. Petal’s Patient-Self Scheduling portal can be customized and integrated within a health facility’s existing website, enabling uniform branding and messaging for your patients. Booking confirmations and appointment reminders can also be automated through the system, which helps to improve attendance rates without the additional administrative burden on staff.
