E-Booking

e-Booking is a shortened form of the phrase 'Electronic Booking', and is in common use in Healthcare settings for the use of Information Technology systems to enable hospital appointments to be booked electronically.

It usually refers to the booking of an appointment into one service from another, e.g., from a Primary Care physician to a hospital. It replaces archaic methods of referral which can take a considerable length of time, and offer limited choice to patients.

E-booking is often used to refer to time critical purchases like hotel rooms and flights. A large number of small and large companies are allowing customers to book and pay for services online in order to increase revenue potential to cut back on high administration costs.

E-booking is also a term used in the public and academic sectors - see
