gKiosk iPad Patient Check-In & Checkout App
Say Goodbye to Paper Intake Forms
Check-in, checkout and discharge just got a lot easier with gKiosk, our electronic patient check-in app that integrates seamlessly with our gGastro® EHR and gPM™ practice management system as part of the gGastro suite. With just a few taps on the iPad, gKiosk collects data you need and stores it in the patient’s electronic medical record. Imagine—consent forms, demographics, clinical data, signatures and more, all filled out by the patient when they walk in and before they leave. No need to enter the data manually; it’s already there for staff to easily review and accept. And depending on how your gastroenterology practice is set up, you may be able to be up and running with gKiosk in as little as two weeks.
Your patients will enjoy saving time and seeing that you’re on the leading edge of healthcare. And with less paper piling up, your front office will love it, too. Some benefits may include:
- Speed up check-in, checkout and discharge
- Improve patient and staff satisfaction
- Allow patients to complete certain quality measures
- Increase staff productivity by eliminating excessive data entry
- Get one step closer to a completely paperless office
- Streamline patient flow while reducing data entry errors
- Be more environmentally friendly
