CrossChx Launches Queue to Bring Modern, Secure Patient Registration to Hospitals Everywhere
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) December 15, 2015 -- To advance the patient experience and drive operational efficiencies, CrossChx, the leader in identity resolution for smarter healthcare, today announced the official release of Queue, an intuitive registration solution that offers real-time patient progression monitoring and reduces wait times. Placed in registration areas, Queue check-in kiosks replace clipboards with a modern verification process that keeps hospital records secure and improves patient experiences.
Patients spend an average of 22 minutes waiting to see a healthcare provider, according to a survey of 2.4 million patients by Press Ganey Associates. The same report found patient satisfaction dropped significantly with each five minutes of waiting time. Queue offers administrators access to advanced analytics that have helped reduce wait times by up to 80 percent in pilots with 24 hospitals nationwide.
The Queue registration system includes a mounted touchscreen tablet equipped with CrossChx identity-resolution software, which accurately captures patient data, dedupes records, catches errors in patient medical profiles, and verifies patients’ identities to prevent medical mistakes and fraud. It also includes a wall-mounted display that shows patients their estimated wait time.
“Waiting rooms today are confoundingly low-tech and medical records are worse off because of it. With Queue, we’re bringing clean, modern technology to the waiting room to improve how patients interact with their medical records while simultaneously resolving patient profiles for consistent, safe care,” said Sean Lane, Co-Founder and CEO of CrossChx. “We’re finally replacing the clipboard and making hospitals and health systems far more efficient and secure in the process.”
A study conducted by Johns Hopkins Hospital found that 92 percent of errors resulting in costly and potentially dangerous duplicate medical records occurred during inpatient registration. Queue allows patients to sign-in confidently and securely while helping hospitals improve the integrity and accuracy of their patient data.
Each Queue kiosk costs as little as $299/month, which represents approximately one-tenth the cost of comparable industry products. The CrossChx identity management system, SafeChx, is still free to all hospitals.
