Healthcare Solutions
Patient appointment scheduling can be a source of administrative headaches, unnecessary communication, errors, and lost time. TimeTrade transforms appointment scheduling through a Web-accessible system that gives all parties involved in the process instant access to a central “inventory” of time and resource availability.
TimeTrade’s Web-based system streamlines scheduling in ways never before possible:
- Integrate multiple scheduling methods into a centralized, real-time system.
- Standardize inconsistent scheduling processes and implement “best practices.”
- Reduce delays, errors, and administrative overhead in the scheduling process.
- Provide management with real-time reporting for auditing and tracking.
- Access clinician, room, and equipment schedules from any Web-connected PC.
- Enable online self-service scheduling for referring organizations and even patients.
TimeTrade’s real-time system reduces the “handoffs” in the process which result in errors, delays, and reduced utilization.
Rules-based Solution
Most scheduling systems simply check the free/busy status of resources. TimeTrade is “Activity-based.” For a particular activity, such as Infant Wellness Visit, TimeTrade evaluates the availability of the underlying resources (clinicians, rooms, equipment) associated with that activity, and applies appropriate constraints based on your unique business rules. This enables scheduling coordinators to complete appointment transactions more quickly, without needing to know which clinician or room is required. TimeTrade is especially adept at handling complex scheduling situations that involve a rich set of activities, multiple locations, and a wide array of resources interdependencies.
TimeTrade is a real-time application, so there is no chance of double-booking or confusion. Whenever resource capacity is committed, it is immediately removed from “inventory.” TimeTrade’s open architecture allows for integration with patient registration and workforce management systems through Web Services and HL7.
