Urgencies & Emergencies aims to simplify and greatly speed up the way patients find and book a dentist. The service maps the location of practitioners in a given area and highlights those with available appointments, and they have now expanded their service to include dental specialists.

There is an even longer waiting time for dental specialists, so Urgencies & Emergencies are developing a platform where dentists themselves can view waiting times involving specialists concerned, not only in their city but throughout New Zealand. Patients in general will travel to other parts of New Zealand to seek help should they know that they can be seen sooner.

This ties in with their mission to help eliminate or reducing healthcare waiting times, and this function will be available from the third quarter of 2018. This very focused approach aims to improve their service even more to help benefit both the general public and the dentist community.

Over the last few months, the analytics associated with their product were collected, and they concluded that traffic is increasing to the site, and dentists who actively update their availability status are getting more 'views' to their website. They have decided to continue to keep the service free for dentists and will continue to improve the site.
