Appointment-Plus Medical Scheduling Software Improving Flu-Shot Vaccination Process

Jan. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Scottsdale, AZ – As the peak of the 2012-2013 flu season draws near, Appointment-Plus medical scheduling software is making the vaccination process smoother for healthcare facilities, clinic, pharmacies and companies nationwide by enabling patients, customers and employees to quickly book their vaccination appointments online, 24 hours a day.

The result is a more efficient process that dramatically decreases or eliminates long lines and wait times, frees up staff resources for more pressing tasks, and helps facilities manage their supply of vaccinations.

“Administering flu shots can be a tedious and time-consuming task, especially for facilities that still take appointments over the phone or allow walk-ins,” says Bob La Loggia, CEO of Appointment-Plus. “Scheduling flu-shot appointments in the traditional manner is inconvenient for both staff and the individuals they’re scheduling, which is why Appointment-Plus has become the booking solution of choice for facilities nationwide and throughout the world.”

As the premier provider of medical and doctor scheduling software since 2001, Appointment-Plus (http://www.appointment-plus.com/scheduling_software/onlin...) is the perfect solution for automating and streamlining procedures for managing flu shot vaccinations. By allowing individuals to view available vaccination times and instantly schedule online at any hour of the day, a facility can better manage its operations and staff resources. The flexibility of the Appointment-Plus system allows for seamless implementation into any-sized organization and scope of scheduling, from large healthcare groups with numerous locations and the need for high scalability, to single-site facilities.  

In addition to online scheduling, Appointment-Plus also features automated e-mail and text message reminders, which can reduce the “no-show” rate by almost 75 percent; robust recordkeeping, reporting and analytics; online payment processing; and access to the Marketplace, the scheduling largest collection of plug-ins, syncs and modules that integrate with commonly-used programs.

Appointment-Plus also makes it simple for facilities and their staff to instantly view and manage vaccination schedule “on-the-go” with the scheduling industry’s only native mobile scheduling apps for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.
