Go digital with Diagnostics

Our Diagnostic Booking application simplifies appointments for patients and saves valuable admin time spent managing referrals, bookings and follow-ups.

The app automates the booking process, taking data directly from Radiology Information Systems when a patient is referred for diagnostic imaging. It’s easy for patients to choose the most appropriate appointment time – with zero effort from your booking team. The app captures safety information from the patient and reassures them about the procedure. Everything is clear and simple, meaning fewer wasted appointments.

Diagnostic Booking sits on our Liberty platform that puts you in control.

Launch of innovative digital diagnostic booking service

Patients have more choice and convenient ways to communicate with us – they have control and access. Now that 30-40% of people are booking online, call volumes have reduced, DNA rates have dropped and we’re seeing fantastic improvements in productivity.”

Steve Cheung, Head of Radiology

Diagnostic Booking: How it works

The Diagnostic Booking application streamlines appointment booking. Once there’s a referral, the app links directly to the Radiology Information System and generates a user-friendly link to the patient via SMS. After verifying their identity, the app can present patients with a safety questionnaire, checking key points, such as whether they have a pacemaker. Next, it’s easy for patients to select the most suitable appointment. As the appointment gets closer, through integration with a PEP like Patient Hub, reminders and notifications offer reassuring information – so patients can attend on the scheduled day with a clear understanding of the planned procedure.
