The deal brings NexSched’s patient self-scheduling technology to Medfusion’s product suite, and is a part of Medfusion’s initiative to empower patients to take control of their care in the era of healthcare consumerism. The acquisition directly addresses the consumer demand for greater healthcare transparency and control by giving patients 24/7 access to schedule their own appointments. To book or re-schedule appointments online, patients follow a simple, configurable, step-by-step workflow and receive timely confirmation. On the other hand, NexSched’s technology boosts practices’ organizational efficiency by decreasing call volume, lowering no-show numbers and increasing patient enrollment — resulting in significant cost savings.
