THE NEED
Outpatient care is often disrupted by missing or delayed test results, leading to unnecessary consultations, inefficiencies, and wasted resources. In one department, 19% of visits were found to be unnecessary due to missing results, highlighting the urgent need for a more automated and data-driven booking system.
THE SOLUTION
KBP automates the review of test results (e.g., blood tests, scans, biopsies) and streamlines booking and follow-up lists. The system ensures that appointments are only scheduled when all relevant information is available, saving time for both medical secretaries and doctors. In a liver cancer clinic pilot, KBP reduced contacts from 177 to 80 in five months and saved up to 7 administrative hours per week.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Klinisk Booking Program (KBP) is a digital tool that integrates near-real-time test results into outpatient workflows, ensuring patients are only booked when all relevant results are ready. It reduces administrative workload, prevents wasted visits, and improves both patient care and staff efficiency.
CLINICAL IMPACT
By eliminating unnecessary visits and administrative delays, KBP improves patient flow, ensures timely treatment decisions, and enhances patient safety. Clinicians can focus more on clinical care rather than administrative tasks, leading to better treatment quality and overall satisfaction for both patients and healthcare professionals.
