PATIENTS TRIAL A NEW ARRIVAL SYSTEMA new program designed to improve patient flow is being piloted in the Bernard Curran Rehabilitation Unit, the first of its kind within the Northern Sydney Local Health District.The redevelopment has created an opportunity to build an integrated outpatient service, centrally managed from a common reception desk near the new entrance foyer of the hospital.
The Patient Queue Management System (PQMS) pilot, which was implemented recently, will allow the system to be tried and tested prior to the move to the new building.
Patient arrival kiosks and calling screens will be installed and a new application will be used by clinicians and clerical staff to manage the patient journey. Patients with pre-booked appointments will register their arrival and confirm their details using the touchscreen on the patient arrival kiosk. A ticket will be produced with the patient’s appointment times and clinician details.
Patients can also opt to receive updates regarding their appointment via SMS. The patient may choose to stay in the waiting room or wait elsewhere and return when they are called back to the clinic.
When the redevelopment is completed patients will have the
