Zocdoc’s digital marketplace surfaces unused appointment inventory in real time, improving patients’ access to care, the company explained. “We’re proud to work with Allscripts to help physicians maximize their time, create efficiencies for office staff, improve access, and deliver the simple, connected experience patients expect.” “At Zocdoc, we believe in creating open, interoperable technology that provides value for patients, providers and the greater healthcare industry,” said Joaquin Gamboa, chief legal officer and head of new business and government affairs at Zocdoc. The integration is available for new and existing practices using both Zocdoc and Allscripts.

The integration will improve real-time booking for patients through Zocdoc and will enable physician offices to have synced schedules and appointment information, the companies said.

This will enable a connection by API between Zocdoc’s online scheduling platform and Allscripts’ clinical scheduling software.

The Allscripts EHR now can link with healthcare information and appointment booking app Zocdoc through Zocdoc’s participation as an integrator in the Allscripts Developer Program.
