How Service SG Transformed Patient Flow Across 21 Hospitals with Qwaiting

Service SG is Singapore's leading healthcare provider with 21 hospital locations around the country. The hospital serves 200-300 patients daily selflessly.

With increasing patient volumes, it was becoming difficult for the staff members to manage their patient flow efficiently. Patients had to wait in long lines before consulting a doctor, which was impacting the hospital's reputation.

Let's see how partnering with an advanced queue management system, Qwaiting provided them with a solution that not only saved patients' time but also helped in the hospital's long-term growth.

Challenges the Service SG Hospital Faced

The hospital staff was cooperative and used advanced tools to cure their patients. But, despite being ahead in care, the hospital faced some appointment issues, and managing patient flow was becoming a tough task. The major problems faced include:

Staff Overload and Miscommunication

The lack of a centralized dashboard confused staff members. They were not able to distinguish between who came at what time and emergency patients.

Chaotic Waiting Areas

Without proper information and real-time updates, patients had to wait in long lines, which not only frustrated them, but also caused chaos in waiting areas.

Unhappy Patients

Long wait lines can be irritating, especially when you are already not feeling up to. Complaints about waiting too long, unclear check-in procedures, and mismanaged appointments kept increasing for staff to manage.

Transport System Confusion

Many patients used buses or hospital rides. But because their travel and appointment times weren’t planned together, things often got messy.

These challenges directly impacted patient care and staff well-being. To solve these issues and to maintain the hospital's reputation, the hospital partnered with Qwaiting. Let’s see the result after the implementation of the smart solutions provided by Qwaiting.

How Qwaiting Helped

After analyzing the hospital's needs, we provided solutions directly focusing on improving patient experience and managing operations across multiple branches without stressing out staff members.

The solutions provided were:

1. Online Appointment Booking Software:

We curated a personalized appointment booking software for the patients.

• Using the software, patients can easily book their appointments before their visits. They can select their preferred dates and time slots with their doctors.
• This ensured that the patients no longer had to wait before their consultation, which kept the service areas organized.

2. Centralized Staff Dashboard

To solve staff members' problems and help them track patient journey more easily, we provided the executive members with a centralized dashboard, using which they could easily:

• Oversee branch performances and track patient flow to distribute the flow between less busy departments.
• Centralized dashboard generated weekly reports for staff, using which they were able to track staff performance and fix bottlenecks for better service delivery.

3. Seamless Patient Check-ins Using Kiosks

We installed big digital signage screens and self-service kiosks at the service counters, and it helped by:

The reports helped the hospital to:

• Signage screens helped by displaying patient wait times on a big screen, which removed queue confusion. Patients no longer had to ask the front desk about their wait times.

  

• Kiosk machines let walk-in patients book their consultation themselves by following simple steps on a screen. Using the kiosk, they could easily schedule and pay for their appointments.

These methods automated the staff work, and they could easily focus on serving patients then solving patient queries.

4. Transport Sync Using Patient’s PIN Code

We integrated the booking software with the hospital's transport system to manage patients and their transport efficiently via patient PIN code and appointment times.

Results After Implementing Qwaiting’s Smart Solutions

After implementing Qwaiting's smart healthcare queuing solutions, the results were seen within a week.

1. Dropped Wait Times

Earlier, patients had to wait for 40+ minutes before consulting a doctor. After implementing a smart booking solution, patients reported 5 minutes before their appointments, and average wait times dropped to under 20 minutes.

2. Better Patient Experience

Smart screens used to display wait times removed queue confusion and added to better patient satisfaction and doctor visits.

The patient complaints dropped by over 60% in the first 3 months

3. Data-driven Staff Performance

Using data reports, executive staff were able to identify staff bottlenecks and less-performing departments.

This helped them identify gaps, redistribute workloads, and optimize staffing patterns.

4. Scalability Across 21 Locations

A centralized dashboard lets the admin staff oversee the work of multiple branches across the country.

It was easy to integrate, required minimal training, and created a unified experience across the network.
