Hartford Healthcare launches online scheduling app

Hartford Healthcare Medical Group has launched an app on its website that it says can book doctor’s appointments within 24 hours.

The scheduling service is provided by ZocDoc, a company that launched in 2007 with financial backing from Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos and others. ZocDoc told CNN Money’s Fortune in March that it expects to be available nationwide by the end of this year.

Western Connecticut Medical Group also uses ZocDoc, and the site also displays physicians affiliated with Yale New Haven and a number of smaller practices.
