How eBookings works

eBookings integrates directly into your existing procedure workflows — hospitals receive complete, accurate booking details electronically, with no phone calls, faxes, or double-handling.

  1. Create a procedure — When creating a procedure, simply select a theatre at an eBookings-enabled hospital and the booking is created automatically. Attach consent forms, enter theatre details, and save.

  2. Submit directly to the hospital — Patient and procedure details transmit securely via FHIR to the hospital’s booking system. No printing, scanning, or emailing required.

  3. Track status in real time — Your appointment book updates automatically as the booking moves from pending → confirmed → scheduled. Both practice and hospital see the same live status.

  4. Handle changes instantly — Any procedure updates automatically sync to the hospital booking. Cancellations are flagged to hospitals an average of 12.8 days in advance.

“We find the process simple and really does not require any extra work when booking procedures. The ability to upload the Hospital consent with the OT booking at the time of booking the procedure is a blessing. Our only disappointment is that not all hospitals have this great feature.”
