Wait Times

Intouch with Health's clinic Wait Times manager is a digital dashboard that delivers effective healthcare management through the efficient management of clinic wait times, problem areas and potential delays.

From the moment a patient checks-in for an appointment, Wait Times updates them on clinic delays via the hospital self Check-in kiosks, hospital patient Calling screens or Mobile Appointment Manager – helping to improve the patient’s experience and manage expectations.

To do this, Wait Times digitally captures key points during the patient journey, including:

  • Patient’s time of arrival
  • Time of the first call to department/sub wait area
  • Time of arrival/move to department/sub wait area
  • Time patient called for nurse assessment
  • Time nurses assessment started
  • Time nurses assessment departed
  • Time called for appointment (into clinic/consultation room)
  • Time appointment started
  • Time appointment finished
  • Time of appointment completion

How it works
Delivering true healthcare innovation, waiting times are calculated using the above information and a pre-set wait time parameter (e.g. a 10 minute delay), and will automatically inform staff and patients via the selected channels if a delay is imminent.

Features of Hospital Clinic Wait Time Manager that deliver process improvements and more effective healthcare management include:

  • Allowing hospitals to define and set clinic wait time parameters
  • Improving communication to patients on clinic delays, from the point they arrive
  • Enabling staff to communicate individual clinic wait times from a central dashboard
  • Making problems visible to help staff identify potential bottlenecks and problem areas
