Scheduling is more than finding an open time
A useful scheduling workflow follows the clinic’s identity, appointment-type, provider, location and availability rules before a booking is completed.
Supported routine requests
Each request is handled only within the clinic-defined scheduling workflow and supported system connection.
Booking
Support routine booking through the appointment types and rules a clinic approves.
Rescheduling
Support approved change requests using the clinic’s scheduling process.
Cancellations
Support routine cancellation requests within the clinic’s workflow.
Reminders
Support clinic-defined reminder and follow-up steps.
Patient-requested handoff
Route a request to staff when a person should take over.
Exception handoff with context
Pass the relevant conversation context to the clinic’s designated next step.
Rule and availability boundaries
MEDI follows the identity, appointment type, provider, location and supported availability rules a clinic defines. It does not make independent decisions when the request falls outside those boundaries.
