Your waitlist is full. So why is that scan slot empty?
A cancellation comes in. Your team starts calling down the waitlist, leaving voicemails and waiting for call-backs. Meanwhile, a patient who would happily come in sooner may never hear about the opening in time.
A scan slot opens up
An MRI, CT or other imaging appointment is cancelled or remains unfilled.
The opportunity slips away
A suitable patient keeps waiting while a bookable imaging slot goes unused.
The phone tag begins
Your team works through the waitlist, leaves voicemails and waits for responses.
A cancellation comes in. Your waitlist gets moving.
A clear four-step path from an open RIS appointment to an earlier scan offer — without the front-desk call-around.

The practical questions, answered.
Can our team still manage appointments manually?
Yes. The concept includes staff override and manual allocation options so your team retains operational control.
Can we decide when SMS offers are sent?
Yes. Acceptable patient contact hours can be configured for your clinic.
How are patients selected for an open slot?
Patients can be matched by examination type, appointment duration and preferred location, subject to configured eligibility rules.
Will we need to replace our existing RIS?
The proposed approach is designed to work alongside your current RIS. Compatibility, permissions and booking synchronisation are assessed for your specific environment.
