Patient check-in, streamlined.

Nothing says state-of-the-art healthcare better than a Patient Check-In kiosk from Meridian. Bypassing the traditional administration desk, patients can register themselves quickly and easily, confirm insurance information, and even electronically sign documents. The entire check-in process time is reduced to five minutes or less, and patient satisfaction is well on its way.

More informed patients are less anxious patients.

One of the simplest and most cost effective ways to reduce stress in a hospital environment is to make the information patients need readily accessible. A kiosk from Meridian can be a font of information, customized to provide everything from simple wayfinding, to detailed information about procedures, to clear post operative instructions.

The result? Patient peace-of-mind goes up because they know what to expect and are able to ask doctors and staff more informed questions. Hospital efficiency increases, as well, because staff can spend their time serving patients rather than providing directions.

Reducing the costs of recidivism.

The Federal Government, the largest consumer of health care in the US, set a precedent when it began denying hospitals reimbursement for patients readmitted because they hadn't properly cared for themselves. The mandate is clear. Hospitals must ensure their patients are well informed about post operative care.

With self service, a patient no longer has just five minutes with a nurse or doctor to ask questions. Patients can watch demonstration videos and read information at their own pace. The time they get to spend with the nurse or doctor is far more beneficial because the patient has the information they need to ask informed questions.

Complete, accurate, coordinated care.

Electronic health records facilitate greater access to the information providers need to diagnose health problems earlier and improve the health outcomes of their patients. Electronic health records also allow information to be shared more easily among doctors' offices, hospitals, and across health systems, leading to better coordination of care.
