[https://care-clinics.ca](https://care-clinics.ca/) The EMPOWER Health centralized online appointment booking service allowed for the diversity of local context & configurations to support a common patient-centered care experience across the wide range of healthcare organizations that each used a variety of EMRs & EHRs, while also maintaining their local clinical workflow (hospitals testing / treating hundreds of patients a day & community clinics testing / treating a few days a week). The EMPOWER Health platform also supported regional planning and coordination of service availability to ensure patients were able to book appointments and be seen by a clinician within the clinically appropriate timeframes (ie. booking same-day appointments up to 30 minutes before start-time with most patients seen within 24 hours to support testing & treatment of COVID-19). To support coordination of service delivery within clinically appropriate timeframes, the EMPOWER Health platform provided healthcare organizations with their individualized wait-time information corresponding to the time an appointment was booked and the time the patient was seen by a clinician under a framework to support same-day access. ![Care-Clinics - Home](https://healthcare.empower.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Care-Clinics%20-%20Home.png?width=800&height=1469&name=Care-Clinics%20-%20Home.png "Care-Clinics - Home") ![CCFCC-booking-page](https://healthcare.empower.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/CCFCC-booking-page.png?width=800&height=1532&name=CCFCC-booking-page.png "CCFCC-booking-page") Since 2013, EMPOWER Health has been offering EMR-integrated online appointment booking service that integrates into primary care EMRs and clinical workflows.
