The Problem
Ali Medical Center relied on manual appointment scheduling, which caused delays and inefficiencies.
- Long wait times and missed calls: Patients often encountered busy lines or long holds when trying to book.
- Time-consuming coordination: Staff manually checked calendars, suggested alternatives, and balanced patient preferences while juggling other tasks.
- High risk of errors: Rushed phone conversations and human oversight led to scheduling conflicts and miscommunication.
- Limited booking hours: Appointments could only be made during clinic hours, creating friction for busy patients.
This process consumed valuable staff time, reduced operational efficiency, and negatively impacted the patient experience.
