Automated Waiting Room Queue and Management Service
In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method reschedules medical appointments. The method comprises storing an appointment schedule information associated with a medical provider and receiving an indication that an appointment spot has become available. A patient is selected to fill the available spot based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and patient data or doctor data. The method then transmits a notification of the available spot to the patient.
1 . A computer-implemented method of rescheduling medical appointments comprising:
storing, by at least one computing device, an appointment schedule information associated with a medical provider;
receiving, by the at least one computing device, an indication that an appointment spot has become available; and
selecting, by the at least one computing device, a patient to fill the available spot based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and at least one of a patient data and a doctor data; and
transmitting, by the at least one computing device, a notification of the available spot to the patient.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the analysis of patient data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of patient appointments, a history of patient responsiveness to notifications, an address associated with the patient and a medical history of the patient.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the analysis of doctor data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of appointment durations, a purpose of the appointment, a type of medical practice.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the doctor data is associated with a plurality of providers.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the notification of the available spot to a plurality of patients.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving a response from at least one of the plurality of patients; and
scheduling the available spot to the at least one of the plurality of patients.
7 . A computer-implemented method of rescheduling medical appointments comprising:
storing, by at least one computing device, an appointment schedule information associated with a medical provider;
receiving, by the at least one computing device, an indication that the medical provider is running behind the appointment schedule; and
determining, by the at least one computing device, one or more alternate appointment times based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and at least one of a patient data and a doctor data; and
transmitting, by the at least one computing device, a notification of the one or more alternate appointment times to the patient.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the determining the medical provider is running behind the appointment schedule is based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and at least one of a patient data and a doctor data.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the analysis of doctor data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of appointment durations, a purpose of the appointment, a type of medical practice.
10 . A system for rescheduling medical appointments comprising:
one or more computing devices;
an appointments module, implemented in the one or more computing devices, that stores an appointment schedule information associated with a medical provider; and
a waiting room queue module, implemented in the one or more computing devices, that:
receives an indication that an appointment spot has become available; and
selects a patient to fill the available spot based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and at least one of a patient data and a doctor data; and
transmits a notification of the available spot to the patient.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the analysis of patient data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of patient appointments, a history of patient responsiveness to notifications, an address associated with the patient and a medical history of the patient.
12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the analysis of doctor data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of appointment durations, a purpose of the appointment, a type of medical practice.
13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the doctor data is associated with a plurality of providers.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the notification of the available spot to a plurality of patients.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the waiting room queue module further:
receives a response from at least one of the plurality of patients; and
schedules the available spot to the at least one of the plurality of patients.
16 . A program storage device tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by at least one machine to perform a method for presenting medical data, the method comprising:
storing an appointment schedule information associated with a medical provider;
receiving an indication that an appointment spot has become available; and
selecting a patient to fill the available spot based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and at least one of a patient data and a doctor data; and
transmitting a notification of the available spot to the patient.
17 . The program storage device of claim 16 , wherein the analysis of patient data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of patient appointments, a history of patient responsiveness to notifications, an address associated with the patient and a medical history of the patient.
18 . The program storage device of claim 16 , wherein the analysis of doctor data comprises analyzing at least one of a history of appointment durations, a purpose of the appointment, a type of medical practice.
19 . The program storage device of claim 16 , wherein the doctor data is associated with a plurality of providers.
20 . The program storage device of claim 16 , wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the notification of the available spot to a plurality of patients.
