Appointment Booking via Reception Staff

Reception appointment booking allows the Doctors to delegate the appointment booking feature via Reception staff.

With MyOPD ZIP Android app, the process of Appointment booking via Reception is as follows:

1. Patient calls the Clinic or Reception Number. This number is attended by the Reception staff.
2. Reception staff then talks to the patient and reserves a convenient time of appointment.
3. Patient can optionally receive a appointment booking confirmation SMS.
4. Doctors sees the appointment on their device.

This way, the reception staff can build the appointment list of the Doctors. With MyOPD ZIP App, Reception staff can be anywhere while booking the appointment i.e. in the clinic or at their home. The staff just needs MyOPD ZIP with Reception account on their device.
