Questions

Questions about use cases.

Last updated 10 November 2026.

Ask us your own question
What's the difference between a guide and a use case?

Guides cover a topic end to end, like patient recall. Use cases show one job in detail, like rebooking cancellations, and how it runs on your PMS.

Do use cases depend on our PMS?

Each one runs on the PMS you already have, as long as it's one we work with. Each use case page shows how it works on yours.

Can we start with one?

Yes. Start with the gap that costs you most, and add the next once it runs well.
