Scheduling

Pediatric scheduling that puts more than just the calendar in view.

Scheduling is an opportunity to do more than book the visit in front of you. Office Practicum brings important patient and family information into the scheduling workflow, helping your team catch care that may be due, coordinate sibling appointments, address outstanding balances, and build a schedule that works for your practice.

WHY IT MATTERS

You’re not just finding room on the calendar. You’re figuring out what makes sense for the patient, the family, and the day.

The reason for the call may not be the only care that’s due

Maybe the child is overdue for a well visit. Maybe an immunization is due. Scheduling conversations can surface opportunities to address care that wasn't the original reason the family reached out.

One call can turn into more than one appointment

Pediatric practices care for families, not just individual appointments. Parents may need to coordinate visits for siblings, work around school and activities, and make fewer trips to the office when they can.

An open slot isn’t always the right slot

Well visits, sick visits, follow-ups, immunizations, and other appointments place different demands on the day. Add multiple providers and locations, and a schedule needs more than openings — it needs the right structure behind them.

HOW IT WORKS

More of what matters, right there when you schedule.

1
The whole practice in one view

See schedules across locations in one place, with customizable templates that put the right visit types in the right parts of the day. One view, built around the way your practice runs.

2
Care opportunities that are hard to miss

See the last well visit date and immunization status while you’re scheduling, with overdue care clearly flagged. Your team has the context to spot what may be due without digging through the chart.

3
The family picture comes with the patient

Need to schedule a sibling too? A quick search makes it easy to find another child in the family, with their credit and balance history available while you schedule. Less back and forth when there’s more than one child to take care of.

4
Turn availability into appointments

Let families self-schedule from the options your practice makes available — especially handy for things like flu clinics. Have openings to fill? Recalls and patient messaging can help bring patients who are due for care back in.
