Check-in for your kind of practice
The waiting room works differently in every specialty. These pages go through the specifics.
- Speech Therapy patient check-inParents and adult clients tap their SLP's name on an iPad in the waiting room. You get a silent buzz on your phone or watch and finish the drill you're in the middle of.
- Physical Therapy patient check-inYour patient taps your name on an iPad at the front. You feel it on your watch while you're spotting someone on the leg press, and nobody has to shout across the clinic.
- Mental Health & Counseling patient check-inClients tap your name on an iPad and sit down. You get a silent notification and open your door at the top of the hour, and nobody in the waiting room overhears a thing.
- Pediatric Therapy patient check-inOne iPad at the door, one tap by the parent, and the right therapist out of six gets a silent alert. No doorbell, no front desk, no stroller traffic jam at a counter.
- Chiropractic patient check-inPatients tap your name on an iPad at the door and take a seat. You get a silent alert on your phone or watch in the adjusting room and keep the line moving.
