DiaryBook and the HSE

Working Together

The DiaryBook portal was created in 2006 to provide appointment management software and to automatically send appointment reminders by SMS text. In 2008 it was chosen as the preferred supplier for appointment reminder texting by Cavan General Hospital for Cavan/Monaghan and Louth/Meath hospital groups.

In 2011 a collaborative effort between DiaryBook and Brú Chaoimhin Cork St. moulded the DiaryBook service to operate more effectively within a HSE clinic environment paying particular attention to multiple users and departments, booking resources, client data entry, control and security.

Since then, it has been taken up by many other HSE primary care centres around Ireland and currently manages appointments for over 2,500 HSE staff.
