ViSof and Microsoft Outlook, with the same appointments. With Arbol, with no manual copying.
How it works
The patient asks for an appointment by phone or WhatsApp.
Arbol creates it on the ViSof calendar, with real availability.
It brings it to the clinician's Microsoft Outlook calendar, with the link if it is telehealth.
If the patient reschedules, it moves it in both.
What each one is
Healthcare provider management software
ViSof
ViSof DDI Software SAS is a Colombian company that develops SIIPS, an information system that brings the clinical, administrative and financial processes of IPS (healthcare provider institutions) into one platform. Its modules cover appointments and online booking, specialty-specific clinical records, service orders, billing, RIPS (Colombia's standardized service-record files), accounts receivable, claim denials (glosas), payroll, accounting and inventory. It has options for dentistry, clinical lab, imaging and outpatient care.
An IPS uses SIIPS to book appointments, keep clinical records and bill with RIPS files and electronic invoices from a single system.
On May 5, 2026, Colombia's Ministry of Health and Social Protection granted SIIPS technical conformity validation for the Digital Care Summary (RDA) in the Patient and Outpatient Consultation scenarios. Source: visof.com (opens in a new tab)

Do I have to use both?
No. If your team only books in ViSof, Arbol works on ViSof; Microsoft Outlook is connected if your clinicians also use it.
Do ViSof or Microsoft Outlook endorse Arbol?
