Separate appointments and walk-ins
A clear appointment schedule with a separate walk-in token queue prevents confusion at reception.
Show live queue status
Doctors and reception teams should see the same queue so staff do not depend on verbal updates.
Capture vitals before doctor consultation
Vitals and chief complaints can be captured before the doctor sees the patient, saving consultation time.
Use follow-up slots
Follow-up visits should be planned separately from new consultations when possible.
