Medical scheduling is the methodical arrangement of appointments and reservations at medical institutions. It includes scheduling diagnostic tests or procedures, scheduling patient visits with healthcare professionals, and overseeing the distribution of resources, including equipment and rooms. While maximizing the use of healthcare resources, effective medical scheduling guarantees that patients receive care on time. There are two options for this process: manual or automated. The latter is becoming more and more common as a result of the development of advanced scheduling software that makes the process more efficient.
