Project Summary

Doctor Appointment System is an end-to-end appointment management solution developed for clinics and hospitals. Running on WordPress infrastructure, this plugin offers unlimited doctor addition, dynamic availability calendar, and advanced reporting features.

Its most striking feature is its full integration with Microsoft Outlook. Events in doctors' Outlook calendars are automatically marked as 'busy' in the system, and appointments made through the system are instantly processed into the Outlook calendar. This prevents double-booking.
