Galvanon Announces Three New Customers For Medikiosk Patient Self-Service Check-In

Maitland, FL - Galvanon, an NCR Corporation company, announced recently new contracts with Dreyer Medical Clinic, Scarsdale Medical Group and Medical Clinic of North Texas. All three customers will license MediKiosk, a patient self-service check-in solution that allows patients to identify themselves upon arrival at the facility, view and confirm demographic and insurance information, electronically sign consent documents and make co-payments.

This self-service approach helps each clinic streamline the patient registration process, shorten wait times for patients and reduce administrative costs. All information entered by patients at check-in flows seamlessly to a clinic's back-end systems, helping to minimize the risk of error.

"These new contracts reinforce the important role that self-service technology can play in the health-care setting. By using MediKiosk, all three clinics will benefit from a paperless workflow that saves valuable staff time, increases data accuracy and improves overall efficiency," said Raj Toleti, president of Galvanon. "In addition, patients will appreciate the added convenience the kiosks provide, including shorter wait times. Clinics that have already implemented MediKiosk report they have reduced check-in times for visits by 50 percent."

Dreyer Medical Clinic is located in Aurora, IL., Scarsdale Medical Group is in Scarsdale, N.Y., and Medial Clinic of North Texas is based in Dallas.

Galvanon's MediKiosk is part of a comprehensive suite of products that allows health-care organizations to provide patient self-service capabilities such as preregistration via the Web, online BillPay and eClipboards – Galvanon's wireless patient check-in solution.
