Outpatient Management Software Helps Manage Patient Flow
Clinics are busy places. At any point in the day, there can be a sudden influx of unexpected patients that overwhelm the staff and on-site resources. Other days, staff and resources can be underutilized.
On the busier days, patients and visitors get frustrated, and become impatient - besides the fact they may not feel very well, they just want to get in and get out as fast as possible. This may prompt them to go to another clinic and never return
You can control this situation with outpatient management software that gives you the ability to offer appointments at your health care facility to your existing patients and manage new patients. This allows you to ensure you have the required resources on site for the appointments and manage your staffing levels more effectively.
Q-Flow® patient management software is a market-leading, proven outpatient management software designed to improve patient flow and increase patient satisfaction at your outpatient clinic. Offering measurable improvements to service metrics, you will be able to share critical data with senior management and better understand your service levels and overall increase patient satisfaction.
By combining a self-service option online, with on-premise channels, patients can manage their clinic experience and see the clinician they desire for their visit. As well, staff can ensure the patient brings the appropriate forms or completes them prior to arriving, should that be required. This expedites the visit and offers measurable efficiencies with a patient.
Providing excellent service to your patients is important. They want to know they will receive the treatment and services they require and their information is safe and secure - and that they are treated with respect.
By controlling patient volumes at your clinic, you vastly improve the overall experience. Patients can have a seat in the waiting area or enjoy waiting around the retail areas, while viewing informative videos and relevant information, while receiving notification regarding their service. Therefore, they do not feel rushed or pressured and they are in control of their visit.
