Abstract

Medical services are offered by various facilities near a patient's residence. The number of facility optimization procedures continues to grow and the patients and facilities can now apply new logic processes and patient incentives, etc., to maximize efficiency and budgetary concerns. One example method of operation provides receiving a request to schedule a medical care visit at a medical facility from a user device associated with a user account, scheduling the first appointment for a first appointment time on an appointment list and identifying an open appointment time in the appointment list for the same day. The method may also include transmitting a notification to the user device associated with a user account that is eligible for an appointment rescheduling event, and receiving a response message confirming a schedule change responsive to the notification being transmitted the user device.
