Outpatients schedule appointments with their healthcare providers when they require medical assistance and treatments. To book appointments they need to coordinate with patients, administrative staff, and healthcare providers. They coordinate with one another to check availability and book appointments after confirming with the patients. Rescheduling and cancellations should be handled efficiently and communicated with patients ahead to reduce conflicts and wait times and enhance patient outcomes. 

The manual scheduling process can be tedious involving extensive paperwork, back-and-forth phone calls, and coordination. This can be time-consuming leading to delays, scheduling conflicts, patent dissatisfaction, and reduced operational efficiency. 

Automation helps overcome these challenges as it can streamline workflows, reduce manual intervention, and ensure timely and accurate scheduling. Automated systems like Cflow can handle appointment requests, verify availability, and speed up the process.
