Use Cases
- Healthgrades provides an online appointment scheduling solution that integrates with your Cerner Millennium scheduling system, including real-time booking for patients on healthgrades.com that syncs automatically. This system can also integrate into the health system call center allowing a call center representative to book directly on behalf of the consumer while they're on the phone.
- This convenient tool encourages consumers — millions every month — to book appointments with their chosen providers on the spot. Plus, healthgrades.com maintains up-to-date information about providers, such as top care areas and how frequently they perform a given procedure, making it even easier for consumers to select the right match.
- The Healthgrades integration with Cerner also allows health systems, hospitals, and practices to open real-time booking on their owned properties - find-a-doctor directories on their website, through campaign outreach to consumers, and even within health systems apps.
- Online Appointment Scheduling integrates seamlessly with your current workflow, making it easy to manage on the back end, and keeping your brand top of mind for consumers.
