THEIR PROBLEM
A poor queue management syndrome
Even today, many hospitals and healthcare professionals ignore that the waiting experience is a big part of the overall patient experience.
Prior to implementing Qminder, North Kansas City Hospital did not have a proper queue management system.
A registrar at the front desk would typically write down the names of patients on a piece of paper. The registrar would then call up the waiting patient when it was their turn.
The more patients came in, the more challenging it was to keep everything in check and remember the order that patients arrived.
It became apparent that a hospital cannot function without a digital queuing system that can:
- Automate the check-in and waiting process
- Notify and call up the patients
- Utilize reporting tools to analyze visit metrics
