They were missing out on patient onboarding experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Their patients had to call them for appointment booking, wait in the queue in the crowded waiting room, and fill out paper-based forms to see a doctor.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This entire process on average used to claim 20 to 30 minutes, resulting in annoyed patients who then never used to come back!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">To streamline the patient onboarding process, we suggested an online patient check-in app or system.&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting clarity over its use cases and value propositions, they nodded yes to us to build and implement the custom patient self check-in app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Outcome:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within only a few months of the app launch, they started witnessing positive change.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The patient queue at the front desk started shortening. The front desk started getting fewer calls for appointments.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The hospital reduced the staff at the front desk and utilized them in other core hospital administrative operations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients were now able to book appointments using the mobile app without calling anyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They could fill out all forms digitally before the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, they could do self-check-in from the hospital, its parking, or even while on the way to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Because of technology-led patient onboarding, patients were now able to talk to doctors within 5 minutes of reaching the hospital.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate outcomes of implementing patient self-check-in tech were happier patients, high patient retention, and more revenue than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/case-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><u>Consider reading our other case studies for more such real-life healthcare success stories<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1><strong>How Does a Patient Self-check-in App Work? <\/strong>\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Patient side:&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #1: <\/strong>A patient books an appointment with a doctor using the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #2:<\/strong> A few hours before the appointment, a patient can access several forms shared by the doctor.
