Developing widgets for scheduling and booking immunization and testing appointments

Currently, disease testing and immunization is a labour intense process that needs improving. Miscommunication and long waiting times have been ongoing problems for years, and the consequences of this have been amplified during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Cambian Business Solutions (Cambian) is a healthcare information technology company with services including information management, service co-ordination and scheduling. Cambian seized upon the opportunity to upgrade their existing appointment scheduling technologies to enable British Columbians to conveniently register and book appointments online for testing or immunization. After bringing together a cohort of partner companies, Cambian began the process of securing funds for this fast-paced project. Digital Health Circle provided rapid cost sharing and project management support to help offset costs of contractors hired to complete the development work enabling this time sensitive project to proceed without delay. As a result, Cambian has successfully completed the development of their scheduling widget enabling a flexible booking resource for scheduling testing and immunization appointments that can be used across platforms.
