If you have been thinking about implementing an Online Appointment Booking (OAB) system, don’t miss the opportunity to access primary care funding to cover some of the costs such as licenses, technical and change management support.
OAB offers a convenient method for patients and caregivers to book appointments while also reducing the risk of missed appointments thanks to email confirmations and reminders.
The MLOHT acknowledges this initiative is a key strategic pillar of the Ministry of Health’s Digital First for Health Strategy.
The current process allows each clinic the ability to select its OAB solution of choice, but over time, a regional approach may be adopted. Each provider accessing funding will be required to submit performance targets and monthly metric reports to Ontario Health.
Funding will be available until March 31, 2023. Learn more and fill out an Expression of Interest survey here. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PXL35MZ
