What Are the Challenges in Appointment Scheduling?
Several challenges can arise in appointment scheduling, including:
Overbooking: Trying to see too many patients in a short time can lead to long waiting times and reduced quality of care. Underbooking: Not booking enough patients can lead to underutilized resources and financial losses. Patient No-shows: Patients missing their appointments can disrupt the schedule and reduce the efficiency of the healthcare facility. Emergency Situations: Unplanned emergencies can require immediate attention, causing scheduled appointments to be delayed or rescheduled.
