Pick your route

• New to Diarybook — read What Diarybook Does for the screens you’ll meet, then Key Concepts for the vocabulary.
• Joining an account that is already set up — the Welcome Tutorial takes you from the welcome email to adding clients and appointments.
• Setting up a new account — Your First Week gives the setup order, with what each step depends on.
• Diarybook works alongside your existing patient management system — read Standalone or Synced first.

One product, two modes

Diarybook runs either standalone, as the complete scheduling system, or as an integration layer, alongside an existing patient management or hospital information system. The screens and features are the same in both. The difference is how appointments get in: standalone services enter them in Diarybook, while integrated services receive them from the source system in a daily file. Integrated services can still add appointments by hand.

If an integrated service doesn’t take client replies or other feedback, staff don’t need to use the Diarybook screens day to day. Reminders go out on their own, and the screens are there for anyone who wants to check what was sent.
