Diagnostic Booking
Streamline appointment booking for X-rays, CT and MRI scans.
Reduce manual processes and DNAs, while enhancing efficiency and the patient experience.
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: How it works
The 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, reminders and notifications offer reassuring information – so patients can attend on the scheduled day with a clear understanding of the planned procedure.
