Enhancing Patient Appointments Scheduling that Uses Mobile Technology
Authors: Godphrey G Kyambille, Khamisi Kalegele
Abstract: Appointment scheduling systems are utilized mainly by specialty care clinics to manage access to service providers as well as by hospitals to schedule patient appointments. When attending hospitals in Tanzania, patients experience challenges to see an appropriate specialist doctor because of service interval inconsistency. Timely availability of doctors is critical whenever a patient needs to see a specialist doctor for treatment and a serious bottleneck lies in the application of appropriate technology techniques to enhance appointment scheduling. In this paper, we present a mobile based application scheduling system for managing patient appointments. Furthermore, forthcoming opportunities for the innovative use of the mobile based application scheduling system are identified.
