Slot IQ Flow: the Staff Dashboard that closes the loop

A staff dashboard and check-out station is the live view where front-desk and clinic staff see who is waiting, who is next and why, which chairs are free and which slots have been recovered. Slot IQ Flow runs on one fixed queue rule, so staff learn it in an afternoon and can explain every call to a patient in one sentence.

How Slot IQ Flow works

Run the day from one screen

01

See who is waiting

One live view: who is waiting, which chairs are free, which slots were recovered.

02

Call next, with a reason

One fixed queue rule, so every call can be explained to a patient in one sentence.

03

Close out the visit

Arrival, call and completion are each one tap, so every wait is recorded as it happens.

What the Slot IQ Flow dashboard does

One live view of the day

Staff run the day from one live view: who is waiting, who is next and why, which chairs are free, which slots have been recovered.

  • Learn it in an afternoon: the dashboard shows one thing, who is next and why.
  • One fixed queue rule: staff can explain every call to a patient in one sentence.
  • One code per patient: A for booked, B for walk-in, C for department slot-in, on the dashboard, the display and in text updates.
Why timings stop being guesses

Recorded as it happens, not reconstructed at month end

Most wait-time reporting is an estimate assembled weeks later from whatever people remembered to write down. When arrival, call and completion are each a tap someone was going to make anyway, the timings are simply a by-product of the shift.

Real wait, per patient

Time from check-in to called, and called to completed, for every visit: which is what an actual wait time is, as opposed to what the schedule said should have happened.

Feeds the analytics directly

Every state change is an event the flow analytics read. No separate audit exercise, no one keying a tally sheet into a spreadsheet on Friday.

Attributable, by design

Actions are logged with who took them and what changed, before and after. That is an audit requirement for health regions: and the fastest way to answer “what actually happened with this patient?”

The rest of the desk

Everything the kiosk hands back to a person

Self-service handles the routine arrivals. The station is for the patients and situations that genuinely need someone: which is the trade the whole system is built to make.

Register the walk-in

Create a same-day visit for someone who arrived without a booking, or who could not manage the kiosk, and drop them into the same fair queue with a ticket number.

Find any patient fast

Search by name, email, phone or booking reference: including the family member who booked on someone else’s behalf.

Fix the appointment

Reschedule, cancel or swap a slot at the counter, in the same system the patient booked in: not a second calendar that drifts out of step.

Only what the role allows

Receptionist, lab technician, call centre and administrator each see the actions their job needs and nothing beyond it, per site and per organization.

FAQs

What is the staff check-out station?
The staff check-out station is the staff-facing screen behind the counter or at the point of care, where your team calls the next patient from the queue, marks them as seen, and closes out the visit. It is the counterpart to the patient-facing check-in kiosk: the kiosk opens a visit, the station finishes it.
How is it different from the check-in kiosk?
The check-in kiosk is for patients and sits in the lobby: it takes the arrival and issues a ticket. The check-out station is for staff and sits behind the desk or in the room: it calls patients, completes visits and handles anything self-service could not. Both read and write the same queue.
What hardware does it run on?
It runs in a browser, so it works on the workstation already on the desk, a tablet carried into the collection room, or a second screen at a call centre. Outpatient sites commonly run one at reception and one at each point of care.
Can two staff work the same queue at once?
The arrivals list and walk-in queue refresh live, and calling a patient moves them out of the waiting state immediately, so two people working side by side do not call the same patient twice.
Is every action recorded?
Staff actions are audit-logged with the values before and after the change, and access is role-based: receptionist, lab staff, call centre and administrator each get only what their role requires. Login history is retained. See security and compliance.
Does it work across multiple outpatient sites?
Staff can switch between the locations they are authorised for, and administrators see across an organization: which is how health regions run dozens of outpatient collection sites without a separate system per building.
