McGreevy Clinic Avera First To Offer Online Appointment Scheduling

(SIOUX FALLS, SD) May 24, 2006

As the first major primary care provider in the area to offer online appointments, McGreevy Clinic Avera is bridging technology and convenience to provide a better patient experience.

Current and new patients can request available times for non-emergency medical visits by selecting the day and time period in which they would like to have an appointment. McGreevy Clinic Avera staff responds to the patient, verifying an appointment time. The online appointment feature allows patients to choose the specific physician and clinic location they prefer.

Online appointment scheduling empowers patients to take a more active role in their healthcare. Research shows patients are more truthful online regarding the reason for visit and urgency of care. “We are responding to a growing need from our current patients and want to be mindful of people’s valuable time. Online appointment scheduling allows patients the flexibility to make appointments at their convenience.” says John Healy, Vice President of Primary Care.
