How Patients Book Hospital Appointments From Their Phone
Calling a busy hospital line to book an appointment rarely works. Here is how patients book a date, time and reason for their visit from their phone, and how the front desk confirms it.
- 1The patient opens their mySmartAccessCard account and chooses a date, a time and the reason for the visit.
- 2The hospital's front desk sees the request and approves or declines it, with a note if needed.
- 3The patient is notified automatically either way.
- 4On the day, the patient checks in with their card or QR code.
Why hospitals like it
- Fewer phone calls to the front desk.
- Every request is written down, with the reason for the visit.
