Medical Clinic Queue Management: The Complete Guide

The Problem with Traditional Waiting Rooms

A waiting room full of patients creates several problems:

• Health risk: proximity between sick patients
• Patient stress: uncertainty about wait time
• Inefficiency: staff handling complaints instead of caring

The Solution: Virtual Queue

With a virtual queue, patients no longer wait physically. They receive a notification when it's almost their turn and arrive just in time.

Benefits for the clinic

• Less crowded waiting room
• Less stress for reception staff
• Better management of doctor delays

Benefits for patients

• Wait at home or in their car
• Notification when it's their turn
• Less exposure to other sick people

Implementation in 3 steps

Step 1: Patient registration

The patient scans a QR code at the entrance or registers from home before the appointment.

Step 2: Automatic notification

15 minutes before their turn, the patient receives a push notification or SMS asking them to come in.

Step 3: Smooth arrival

The patient arrives, gives their name, and is immediately taken care of.
