Waitematā DHB to roll out Pinga for online outpatient appointment bookings

Waitematā District Health Board plans to roll out the Pinga online appointment booking system at North Shore and Waitakere hospitals, initially in its cardiology clinics followed by a wider roll-out between April and December across most outpatient clinics.

Pinga, developed by Christchurch-headquartered patient booking and experience management developer Aceso, is a modular, cloud-based solution that in addition to patient appointment booking, includes roster and scheduling, eReferral management, patient reminders, operational dashboards and an integrated telehealth service.
