Here are four things to know about the online appointment scheduling feature.
1. The online appointment scheduling feature enables consumers to book real-time, online appointments with Ochsner physicians who use the Epic EMR.
2. In addition to scheduling an appointment and understanding patient satisfaction and hospital outcomes information, consumers may also compare physicians based on other key factors such as patient satisfaction, practicing specialties, procedures performed, conditions treated, years in practice, insurance information, language, malpractice and sanctions, according to a news release.
3. Healthgrades CEO Roger Holstein spoke positively of the initiative. “As consumers more actively research and select their own doctors, Healthgrades set out to build an experience that provides consumers with access to the most important information: physician experience, hospital outcomes, patient satisfaction and availability,” Mr. Holstein said in a prepared statement. “We are delighted to be working with Ochsner and Epic, two industry leaders, to make the process of booking appointments even easier.”
