Online appointment booking reduces phone call volume by 40–60% and is now expected by patients — especially younger demographics. This guide covers how to add it to your hospital website and connect it to your queue system.
Three options: (A) Embedded widget: paste a 3-line HTML snippet into your website — the booking form appears inline. (B) Hosted page: link patients to a MOVO-X-hosted booking page at booking.yourhospital.com. (C) Custom-built portal: full custom development using MOVO-X APIs.
Start with a subset of appointment types: GP appointments, nurse consultations, and routine specialist follow-ups. Do not allow online booking for emergency presentations, first-time specialist referrals (which need triage), or procedures requiring pre-assessment. Add more types as confidence grows.
In MOVO-X Admin → Appointments → Online Booking: select which doctors and departments allow online booking, set maximum online advance booking (recommend 30 days for GP, 60 days for specialists), and set the same-day booking cutoff time (recommend 2 hours before the slot).
Standard flow: Select department → Select doctor → Select date → Select time slot → Patient details (IC/passport number, phone, DOB) → Consent → Confirmation. Keep to 5 steps maximum. Mobile-first design is essential — 70%+ of appointments are booked on phones.
Immediately after booking: WhatsApp/SMS confirmation with appointment details, doctor name, location, and a calendar invite link. 24 hours before: reminder with "reply 1 to confirm". 2 hours before: final reminder. Cancelled slot: immediate notification.
When a patient with an online booking checks in at the kiosk, their appointment should auto-populate their queue entry — no manual search. This requires the online booking system and the queue system to share a patient identifier (IC number is the most reliable link).
Add "Book Online" as a prominent button (not a hidden link) on your hospital homepage and Google Business Profile. Visibility drives adoption.
Enable a waiting list for fully-booked slots — patients can register their interest and receive an automatic notification if a cancellation opens up.
Review booking abandonment analytics monthly — where in the 5-step flow do patients drop off? High abandonment at "patient details" usually means the form is asking for too much information.
Minimum required: IC/passport number (patient identification), phone number (for reminders and cancellation), and date of birth (age verification). Full name can be auto-populated from IC. Address and other demographics can be completed at registration.
Require a 2-step confirmation: (1) booking confirmation immediately, (2) 24-hour reminder requiring a reply to confirm. Unconfirmed slots can be automatically released 4 hours before the appointment and offered to waiting list patients.
Yes. MOVO-X provides self-service cancellation and rescheduling via the WhatsApp confirmation message (reply "2" to reschedule, "3" to cancel) or via a link in the confirmation email.
