  • I have searched the existing issues

Feature Description

The Specialist Directory feature will provide a comprehensive list of medical specialists . This directory will include details such as:

  • Specialist names
  • Qualifications and credentials
  • Areas of expertise
  • Years of experience
  • Patient reviews and ratings
  • Real-time availability for appointments

Patients will be able to filter specialists based on various criteria (e.g., specialty, location) and book appointments directly from their profiles.

Use Case

This feature would significantly enhance the user experience by allowing patients to:

  • Make informed decisions when selecting a specialist based on qualifications and patient feedback.
  • Quickly find available specialists, reducing wait times and frustration in scheduling appointments.
  • Access a centralized location for all specialist information, which is particularly helpful for new patients unfamiliar with the facility.

Specific Scenario

For example, a patient experiencing symptoms of a condition can browse the directory, read reviews from other patients, view qualifications, and schedule an appointment with a suitable specialist all in one place, thus streamlining the process.

Benefits

  1. Increased Transparency: Providing patient reviews and specialist qualifications fosters trust within the community.
  2. Improved User Experience: A user-friendly directory simplifies the search and booking process, enhancing overall satisfaction.
  3. Enhanced Patient Engagement: Engaging patients through feedback and detailed profiles encourages them to take a more active role in their healthcare.
  4. Operational Efficiency: By enabling online bookings directly from the directory, it reduces administrative workload and potential booking errors.
