Everyone has had the experience of making an appointment. We will make an appointment by phone, WeChat official account, applet, direct offline appointment, etc.
The complete reservation loop should be:

Regardless of the method of appointment, the underlying model is the same. Let’s take a look at which models are available on the market.
1) From the perspective of appointment recipients: they can be doctors, departments, or projects.

2) From the perspective of appointment time: there are time slot appointments, specific time point appointments, and number appointments.
We choose the most basic reservation that meets the following two scenarios:

• Patients do not need to specify a doctor to make an appointment, they only need to make an appointment with the department; In this situation, doctors have similar levels of expertise and can flexibly allocate patients offline, without having to worry about doctor shifts.
• Patient designated doctor appointment; Generally, clinics where experts provide consultations are needed, and patients come for doctors.

It may seem simple, but there is a difference between clinics and hospitals. The biggest difference is that a doctor can serve in multiple departments.
This is easy to understand. Some doctors in the clinic are versatile and specialize in pediatrics, but they can also provide gynecological services. It’s impossible not to do business.
This presents a problem, as the consultation time for each department may not be the same. For example, there may be a difference of 30-40 minutes between pediatric clinics and children’s physical examinations; Assuming that doctors have fixed working hours, the number of patients they can see in a day is an uncertain value.
When booking the occupancy number source, it is also necessary to coordinate with other departments for calculation.
No matter which appointment form is used, the data falls into the backend, and clinic medical staff need to see the data. High end clinics will also make phone calls to confirm with customers.
The viewing methods are usually daily and weekly tables, with detailed records added; Considering that this system has not been launched yet, we have found online images to illustrate.
1) Weekly schedule: You can visually see the appointment status for this week, and if a patient calls to make an appointment, you can quickly tell them which day is available.
