Clinic Support FAQ's

What is Goto.health?

Goto.health provides a secure platform to enable medical practitioners to communicate with their patients. In particular, we work with your medical practitioner to find easier and more accessible ways for you to book and manage your appointments. Goto.health is a free service (you are only charged a commission payment when a patient book an appointment with your clinic) that allows you to do a variety of the following:

  • All bookings go directly into your calndar and only available slots are filled by Goto.health

  • Patients can search for their preferred practitioner

  • Manage upcoming appointments that have been booked with your Goto.health account

If a patient cancels, or rescheduels an apoointment outside of the conditions you set (i.e wihtout 48 hours prior notice), you determine how much the patient is charged. If the patient does not show up to a confirmed appointment booking the patient is charged the full payment amount for the booking.

How to add or edit a Practitioner

The Goto.health Dashboard allows you to add or edit a practitioner on your clinic's online bookings page, customising their individual profile and selecting the appointment types that they perform.

Filling in each profile with this information will assist your patients in booking an online appointment with the practitioner that best meets their needs.

Once created, each practitioner profile will have an Edit section that is divided into three parts:

  • Practitioner Profile

  • Online Bookings Settings

  • Appointment Types

  • Languages

Online Bookings Settings

The online booking settings section will allow you to:

  • Switch the practitioner on or off for online bookings by toggling the Visible for Online Bookings checkbox.
