from: MyHealthDirect Powers Patient Self-Scheduling at Major Cancer Hospital
MyHealthDirect, a leader in digital care coordination solutions, today announced that Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), the world’s oldest and largest private cancer center, has launched an initial solution for online patient self-scheduling powered by MyHealthDirect. This initial solution will make it easier for certain patients to access providers in the following MSK services: lymphoma, myeloma, breast surgery and medical oncology, and thoracic surgery and medical oncology. The solution is designed to guide certain patients through a series of questions online, leading them to the right provider and appointment for their needs.
The patient self-scheduling solution integrates directly with the Epic EMR system, for real-time scheduling directly into participating provider calendars. The solution is customized based on providers’ scheduling rules protecting their calendars from errant bookings and ensuring a better patient experience.
“It is our honor to offer a scheduling experience that aligns with Memorial Sloan Kettering’s mission to provide highly individualized, exceptional care to each patient,” said Jason Kressel, chief operating officer at MyHealthDirect.
