OT’s Most Useful Application
Sometimes it takes a bit getting used to, but finding the right application for your business is essential for success. As an occupational therapist, there is an essence for organization and neatness within the workplace. OT’s may work independently for several organizations or some can possibly work for one organization but have many clients on their case load. In both scenarios OT’s need to be organized and well put together. On the web 2.0 there are thousands of different applications that can assist a variety of businesses in turning this timely task into a pleasurable moment. Scheduly-Free-Your-Time at: http://www.scheduly.com/ is an excellent resource for an occupational therapist. As time is of essence to everyone, the most significant part of this application is that it emphasizes the importance of freeing up time versus booking it. Regardless of the career, it is important to prioritize in order to free up every moment possible for the development of personal wellness. One of the benefits of becoming an OT is the option to choose whether to work 60 hours a week, 40 hours a week, 20 hours a week, or simple on an on-call basis. By having an online application, one can better schedule in clients and allow enough time for family, friends, and self. This application not only allows you to schedule your personal life, but also allows for your work schedule to be posted on line in order for your clients to find the best slot that suits their schedules. How convenient is this? It completely eliminates the phone tag commonly played out between clients and therapist, it allows for employers to check their employee’s schedules, and it keeps the OT on schedule with constant online pop-up reminders. Fascinating isn’t it? This application will soon become my new online, hour to hour agenda while working as an occupational therapist.

Nice post. I agree with you on the fact that an online appointment application can really free up a lot of time.
I’m a Dentist and in our small clinic we use tuotempo (http://www.tuotempo.com) that not only allows our client to book online but also send them sms to remind them of the appointments.
Working with 2 other dentists and no assistants we often needed to pickup the phone in the middle of a filling in order to take appointments. Switching to an online application all our appointment management has really changed our life.
