How It Works

1

ONLINE SCHEDULING

Book a visit time online

Patients can opt to save their spot in your virtual queue via a scheduling widget on your website and do their waiting from home. They will receive instructions on what to do when they arrive via text message.

Emily, when you arrive, please stay in your car and reply “1” to let us know you’ve arrived.

MOBILE PATIENT QUEUING

Sign in via mobile device

On arrival, both walk-in patients and patients who got in line online, sign in on their phones from their car, parking lot, or lobby. This lets staff know they’ve arrived, and for walk-in patients, this is their entry into your queue as an estimated treatment time is automatically assigned. Auto text alerts are sent out letting patients know about their wait status.

DIGITAL PATIENT INTAKE

Complete intake forms digitally

Once sign-in is complete, patients are prompted by a text link to complete your digitized, mobile-friendly registration, consent-to-treat, and other intake forms and submit from their phone while they wait. Staff then receive the forms ready for download and attached to each patient in the queue.
