Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automatically scheduling patient visits based on information in electronic medical records (EMRs). In one exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method for scheduling patient visits based on information in EMRs may be provided and performed by one or more computers associated with a service provider. An EMR for a patient can be evaluated to determine if it contains information indicating a need to schedule a future vising for the patient. Multiple scheduling parameters can be identified in the EMR. A schedule for a healthcare provider can be received, for example by the service provider computer. The schedule of the healthcare provider can be evaluated based on one or more of the identified scheduling parameters. In addition, a suggested appointment time for the future visit for the patient can be identified based at least in part on the evaluation of the schedule.
