Outpatients improves efficiency and collaboration across outpatient departments to help drive improvements in clinic and room utilisation, increased appointments and reductions in outpatient waiting lists.

A series of modules that support the efficient management of outpatient services by increasing collaboration amongst staff and enhancing decision making through improved data quality. The first of these, the Clinic Management and Room Booking module, facilitates collaboration among outpatient departments to efficiently manage clinics and room bookings, boosting utilisation and offering the ability to:

• process requests for clinic sessions and room bookings, including handling ad hoc requests and cancellations and associated room bookings, the latter via a robust room booking search algorithm
• manage room availability, features and issues comprehensively
• apply locally configurable rules to flag clinic sessions for periodic review to ensure readiness and maximum utilisation
• report on clinic and room utilisation to enhance resource optimisation
