Ready for a checkup? Google will let patients book appointment via search engine

Google has announced plans to roll out a feature that allows patients to view appointment availability for participating healthcare providers directly from its search page.

For example, if someone searches for a physician or a health provider’s office, they’ll see what types of appointments are available and the date of the earliest appointment. A “book” button will direct them to a third-party site to make an appointment, according to a March 24 Google news letter. 

The initial rollout, which is still in its early stages, will work with CVS’ MinuteClinic and other unnamed appointment schedulers.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
