New Case Study Shows PatientTrak Reduces Wait Time by 67%

Implementing PatientTrak will reduce patient wait and cycle time through improved workflow visibility to patient status and staff communications.  In a recent case study of a high volume New England Hospital outpatient center, PatientTrak reduced average patient wait time in the Lobby from 15 to 5 minutes and Registration time from 13 to 6 minutes.

The PatientTrak tracking solution, including a patient sign-in kiosk, was configured to fit the client’s application and was up and running in 24 hours. The staff immediately noted the workflow visibility the software provided as well as the queuing benefit the kiosk created.  The reduction in wait time for the Lobby and Registration areas was result of the real-time visibility and improved staff communication PatientTrak provides.


The study also showed that PatientTrak reduces patient cycle time.  A reduction in cycle time not only increases patient satisfaction but also increases capacity and potential revenue.  There were two major findings in the cycle time data:

21% reduction in per patient cycle time

50% reduction in the number of patients with a cycle time in the 41-60 mins range

Wait Time is the #1 factor in Patient Satisfaction

In addition to the operational savings and improved throughput, decreased patient wait time is also proven to result in higher patient satisfaction. As the PatientTrak platform monitors and measures both wait time and satisfaction, users see this direct correlation and benefit.

Higher patient satisfaction results in a greater likelihood a patient will return to a particular provider for future services, as well as higher revenues and profit margins for providers.

Surveys are the Best Measure of Patient Satisfaction

  We all are regularly asked to complete surveys on the products and services we purchase almost every time we make a purchase.  Sometimes we respond, other times we do not for any number of reasons. Manufacturers and service providers send surveys as a way to collect customer feedback and ultimately improve their business.  They would never intentionally send a survey to someone who was not their customer as it wouldn’t make sense and would falsify their results. Recent studies and a recent article in the Washington Post  show that fake reviews are common in the healthcare industry.  Fake Review Watch, a consumer watchdog site, has found dozens of Facebook groups where businesses, including medical practices, buy and sell fraudulent reviews. Curtis Boyd, CEO and founder of Objection, which specializes in identifying fake business reviews, said that about 20 percent of business reviews in the healthcare industry, including physician reviews,...
