Rappore

A healthcare provider wanted to digitally transform their patient booking system, moving away from phone-based and in-person scheduling to an online platform. Campaignsquat worked with them to design and develop a custom booking system that allowed patients to easily schedule, manage, and cancel appointments with their preferred healthcare professionals. We utilized Vue.js, Node.js, and MongoDB to create a scalable and responsive platform, reducing administrative overhead by 40% and enhancing the overall patient experience.

Rappore Health Clinics

Client Background

Rappore Health Clinics is a network of clinics that provide general medical services, including primary care, diagnostic testing, and specialist consultations. With a growing patient base and increasing demand for accessibility, Rappore Health Clinics sought to streamline the appointment process. They aimed to:

• Offer online appointment booking for patients.
• Minimize no-shows through automated reminders and confirmations.
• Enable easy management for healthcare professionals to view and manage their schedules.
• Integrate with existing patient management systems for seamless workflow.

The Challenge

Rappore Health Clinics faced multiple challenges:

1️⃣ Outdated Appointment Scheduling

• The existing appointment system was manual, requiring patients to call the clinic or visit in person.
• This system caused increased wait times, scheduling conflicts, and frustration for both patients and staff.

2️⃣ High No-Show Rates

• Patients often missed appointments due to lack of reminders or failure to confirm.
• This resulted in lost revenue and inefficient use of resources.

3️⃣ Lack of System Integration

• The clinic’s existing systems for patient management and staff schedules were disconnected and required manual data entry, leading to errors and inefficiencies.

4️⃣ Limited Access to Health Professionals

• The clinic wanted to offer flexibility in terms of location and appointment types, making it accessible to remote patients.

Goals

Our objectives for Rappore Health Clinics’ new platform:

• ✅ Enable online appointment booking for patients, accessible 24/7.
• ✅ Reduce no-show rates with automated reminders and confirmations.
• ✅ Provide healthcare professionals with an easy-to-use dashboard to manage their schedules.
• ✅ Integrate with existing patient management systems for seamless data flow.
• ✅ Make the platform mobile-responsive to cater to all users.
