Patient Check-in Kiosks
A patient check-in kiosk is a self-service solution used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices. Patient check-in kiosks are used to automate the check-in process, increasing efficiency, and reducing staff workload. These kiosks allow patients the ability to check themselves in for appointments, update their personal and insurance information, and sign consent forms all without the need for assistance from front desk staff.
These kiosks typically feature a touch screen interface and are placed in specific locations, such as a clinic entrance, to maximize their effectiveness. Each solution can be programmed to perform a variety of functions, such as verifying patient identity, printing wristbands, and providing wayfinding instructions to guide patients to their appointment location.
Patient check-in kiosks are designed to improve the patient experience by reducing wait times, increasing privacy, and minimizing errors in data entry. They also free up the front desk staff to focus on other tasks, such as answering patient questions, handling more complex administrative duties, and offering the human element necessary for quality care.
Uses of Patient Check-in Kiosks
Patient check-in kiosks have a variety of uses in healthcare industry, such as patient registration and insurance verification. Patients can easily input their information confidentially into the kiosk updating any information such as change of insurance coverages, contact information, or even medical history as soon as they walk in the door.
Patient check-in kiosks also allow patients the ability for contactless appointment check-in. Patients can even schedule their next appointment, or reschedule, right in the waiting room adding extra convenience for patients and staff.
Additionally, patient check-in kiosks allow a designated area for patients to sign consent forms and read HIPAA privacy notices or liability waivers as well as fill out health assessment forms or patient satisfaction surveys increasing the level of patient engagement and satisfaction.
Meridian’s solutions have the ability to incorporate existing software into upgrade hardware, or have the ability to include completely new software developed by our Mzero software platform.

Giving patients this level of control in their healthcare journey increases patient satisfaction by using the normal amount of waiting time, making it feel shorter and more manageable. Additionally, patient check-in kiosks allow for the automation of administrative tasks and provide a much-needed labor-saving solution to front desk staff.
