HMC Schedules Over 1Mn Clinical Imaging Appointments Remotely In A Year
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Clinical Imaging Appointment Center at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has significantly transformed the patient experience by providing them with the opportunity to book and manage imaging appointments easily and conveniently over the phone.

This is achieved through a unified automated scheduling system that has helped reduce patient waiting times and improve access to services, resulting in a 92% patient satisfaction rate.
The centre adheres to a defined time frame to ensure fast scheduling. Appointments are scheduled within three working days from the date the physician submits the test request, ensuring faster access to diagnosis.

More than 175,000 patients have benefited from this service since its launch.
The SMS notification system, used to confirm bookings and send reminders has contributed to a 25% reduction in missed appointments, helping reduce waiting times and allowing cancelled slots to be offered to other patients.
The integration of the Radiology Information System (RIS) with the centre has enhanced coordination between facilities. AI-powered dashboards and internal alerts enable staff to monitor appointments in real time, improving overall performance and responsiveness.
