Minor Ailments: Patient-Facing Ailment Selector
A new landing page helps patients navigate through minor ailment offerings. The ailment selector groups the appointments under Minor Illness Assessments, and then lists the available appointments with intuitive groups. Patients can narrow down appointment selection by symptoms: eyes, female-specific, nose, mouth, skin, stomach, and other.
Each ailment has a description of symptoms and a label indicating coverage by provincial insurance, or if fees apply to receive the service. More information is available for the patient to read upon hover.
Patient Intake
Multiple Methods Support: Appointments can be configured to support In Person, Virtual, or Phone appointments by toggling on additional method support in your pharmacist settings.
Screening for Patient Eligibility and Triaging: Patients complete eligibility screening BEFORE the time slot selection. This allows pharmacists to be confident that they are only seeing eligible patients.
If a patient provides an answer that indicates their ineligibility for an assessment by a pharmacist, such as the existence of red-flag symptoms requiring auto-referral or failing to meet the minimum age criteria, the system will prompt them for additional steps and prevent them from proceeding with the booking process.
Simple Patient Information Gathering: The patient intake collects only the most important information including:
Patient Name, Gender, Date of Birth, Personal Contact Information, Health Card Information, Family Doctor, and Emergency Contacts
Collected Consent and Automated Next Steps: Consent is collected upon submission. Once the appointment is submitted, the patient will receive automated emails and text messages to confirm and remind them of their upcoming appointment.
