Allscripts Guided Scheduling

Why Allscripts Guided Scheduling?

Allscripts Guided Scheduling uses predictive analytics proven in other industries to understand which visits are going to come and ensure your providers are ready. Guided Scheduling prioritizes visits of high-need patients and reduces the impact of no-shows and last-minute cancellations. It also automates all the rules and preferences of your providers so your schedulers can focus on patient care instead of remembering how and when to schedule appointments.

With Allscripts Guided Scheduling, Your Organization Can:

Allscripts Guided Scheduling ensures patients are scheduled with the correct provider by identifying appointment types and booking them based on priorities, simultaneously increasing utilization of extenders.

With the use of predictive analytics and artificial intelligence, Allscripts Guided Scheduling prepares for schedule churn in advance so the practice can continue running smoothly.

Schedule templates based on historical data, combined with automated rules and preferences, make sure that appointments are scheduled correctly every time.

Allscripts Guided Scheduling identifies and prioritizes patients who need care the most, helping to ensure that your providers are able to see them, and that they don’t go elsewhere for care.

Continued reporting after your Allscripts Guided Scheduling implementation provides your business leaders with multi-faceted insights to make informed business decisions.

Allscripts Guided Scheduling sends messages to users based on specific searches like gender, age, frequency, pre-authorization, etc., to aid schedulers based on the specific patient or appointment.
