3 dimensions of Queue Management System for Hospitals

Usually, in hospitals, the management has to face certain issues such as urgency, lack of data inputs, a huge number of patients and unsatisfied visitors/patients. The main issue is always with the limited resources the management have and sometimes the limited space also. Another common problem with queue management systems at hospitals is that there are certain patients who may arrive later but should be treated earlier, managing such scenarios is always difficult with ordinary queuing solutions.  Apart from that usually hospital management always complaint about lack of data input or insufficient data, which also makes it more complex to make decisions regarding customer experience and customer happiness. A queue management system for hospital must resolve all such problem to improve patient journey and experience along with collecting enough data which help the management to take decisions in further improving customer satisfaction.

3-dimensions-of-Queue-Management-System-for-Hospitals

Here are the 3 dimensions of a queue management system for hospitals:

Queue Management System for Hospitals

Queue-Management-System-for-Hospitals

The queue management system for hospitals should be operating on linear queuing majorly with an exception for the patients need urgent care or emergency treatment. All types of emergency and regular scenarios should be classified and identified in the queuing system’s agent portal clearly. Whenever a patient arrives at the hospital they the first responding staff or the counter agent should be able to assess the treatment requirements to issue appropriate token which leads the patient through the required route to get the treatment with least wait time. Linear queuing is also the best approach for the hospitals and can help effectively handling large customer flow.

All types of treatments, checkups, examinations, etc should be managed through the system with different routes, as for all of such patient the treatment is different and requires different types of staff to attend them. This will not only reduce the wait time and the overall service delivery time but it also allows the management to effectively manage high-priority queues for examples, people with emergency situations or who need immediate attention. Another important feature is to provide full and flexible control over the queue and the agent should be able to hold someone’s turn to prioritize newly arrived patient with some emergency situation.

Data Input and Data Collection Process

Data-Input-and-Data-Collection-Process

No matter what type of single or hybrid queuing mechanisms are being used, it is extremely important to make the data entry process simple and quick. Usually, when people visit hospitals they are in a situation of unrest and hurry. Everyone wants to get treated as quickly as possible. No one likes to stay on counters/receptions for long to fill in the forms, or for data entry, etc. The queue management system should be able to integrate with the existing ERPs or any other system that is running there.

When a patient or visitor reach to a counter, the system should be able to get their details from the Emirates ID Card or Insurance Card to save time, all the data should be linked to a centralized information centre to immediately identify the patient. This also helps the system to propagate relevant information to the relevant departments to avoid any delay in repeated data entry at any other department or area when the patient visits there. The queue management system should be able to collect data of the patients along with the relevant visit details which should be linked to the digital patient history, in short, a single sign-in should allow the staff and doctors to get all the relevant information they need, without repeated signing-in on different departments or phases.

Customer Happiness Meter

Customer-Happiness-Meter

A customer happiness meter is a very useful tool for a queue management system for hospitals. The customer happiness meter should be linked with the queue details and shouldn’t require any input from the customer/patient to give their feedback. The system should be able to automatically link the happiness meter data with the queue management system data to identify which patient gave the feedback. Such indicators are very helpful in identifying the issues with the system and the process itself. Staff efficiency and behaviour can also be monitored through such indicators.

The happiness meter data should be organized and presented in comprehensive and short reports along with other user data and stats. The happiness meter stats will help management to understand the efficiency of the overall staff and the service delivery process with deep insight and a better understanding of the issues. Later the staff or the customer care department can contact the patients/customers with negative feedback to further assess the cause of their negative feedback. These steps could be very helpful for the management to take decisions to improve their service delivery process.

Conclusion

The queue management system for hospitals is not an ordinary queuing system. The overall dynamics of customer flow is totally different than any other industry. In hospitals, the patients are usually in some kind of problem and they are not fully calm. So, they don’t behave naturally, everyone wants to get treated as early as possible. As per researches, the waiting time in hospitals felt even more due to the environment, stress and other factors. Apart from that, there are certain patients who might come later but they require treatment earlier, so the queue management system should be able to handle such situations as well. Another big problem is with the sign-up process, which usually requires some time and the visitors/patients also feel uncomfortable during that time. So, the queue management system should be able to link with the central data centre to be able to pull up all the relevant records and history for the patient by only a single sign-in such as Emirates ID or Insurance Card, etc. This could save a lot of time. The queue management system for hospitals should also collect customer feedback on multiple stages of service delivery, which can later be utilized to take vital decisions for improving the customer journey and customer experience.

Most of the businesses and organizations are seeking a tailor-made queue management system solution in Dubai, UAE. The main reason is the customizations of the system as per their specific needs, and integration with other systems. Another reason for businesses seeking a tailor-made QMS solution rather than any ready-made queuing solution is the return over their investments, which are far better than a standard rigid QMS Solution. As the customized queuing solutions are being designed specifically to meet certain needs of the customers, they feel more comfortable working at a tailor-made queue management system with only whatever features they need. No more extra fancy stuff in the control panel which could be confusing for the management as well as for the servers and agents.

The basic idea of going for a customized or tailor-made queue management system is to achieve the maximum output with minimum expense. As every business has its very own organizational structure and standards, which should resonate with all of their services and products. In simple words, every business has a unique brand identity, thus requires a QMS solution which completely synchronizes with their culture, structure and business models. These days the queuing systems are not only limited to customer flow but they can heavily impact your brand identity and brand image, so your queue management system should be custom designed to work in harmony with your business model, culture and brand identity to achieve better customer experiences and customer satisfaction.

Best Queue Management System Types

Here are some of the standard queue management system types with their different features and utilities. These queuing systems are developed on the bases of requirements, services and sub-set of services, physical infrastructure, business models and expected customers/visitors quantity.

  1. Linear Queuing
  2. Mobile Compatible Virtual Queue Management System
  3. Online Appointment/Reservation Enabled QMS
  4. Managed/Un-Managed Traditional Queuing
  5. Self-servicing Queue Management Systems
  6. VIP Queuing Management System (Mostly included in other types as a dedicated module)

These are general classifications of queue management systems. But we can also classify them on the bases of industry, such as, for hospitals, banks, airports, HR Department, customer service centres, retail sector, etc. As all of the industries have their own slightly different service delivery and business models so the queue management systems can also be classified by their application and industry. There are so many classifications that lie in between the above-mentioned types and their sub-sets, but in general, these are the major types of queue management systems.

Basic System Components of a Queue Management System

Although there are so many software and hardware features that can be added but in general here are the basic system components of a queue management system:

  1. Queue Management Server/Software Application
  2. Ticket Dispensing Unit (kiosks, Floor Stands, Wall Mounts, etc)
  3. Digital Signage or Customer Routing Display Units
  4. Routing Signs and Digital Signs
  5. Counter Name Plates, LED/LCD Displays
  6. Audio Announcement Sound System

Above all are the basic components required to build any standard type of a queue management system. There are so many other software and hardware accessories that can be added in the queuing system to provide more operational strength. It also depends upon the application, each industry has their different business model hence the basic requirements are also different. But overall the system ingredients will remain the same as the above.

Conclusion

As the tailor-made queue management systems are proven to be superior to implementing a general-purpose queuing solution. So, before opting for any type of queue management solution you must consider basic classifications, system components and your objectives in mind before making the decision of opting for a tailor-made or a ready-made QMS solution. As per various studies and customer’s reviews, we have concluded that a tailor-made queue management system can always provide more operational strength with less cost and more reliability. An efficient queue management system not only helps organizations improve the customer experience and customer journey but it also helps them increasing sales and establishing their brand identity more effectively.

Important Hardware Components of a Queue Management System

In this blog, we will discuss the important hardware components of a queue management system which are required to manage the customer flow effectively and efficiently to improve the customer journey. There are so many hardware components that can be added to a queue management system as accessories or add-ons to maximize efficiency. It also depends upon the requirements of the client and the nature of the operations they are performing at their branch/office. The queue management system is essential in building up your business reputation, keeping the visitors/customers happy and reducing the workload of the staff and agents to keep them in high spirits. Overall these all factors contribute to your business’s success.
Important-Hardware-Components-of-a-Queue-Management-System

Before I step into describing the various hardware component I would also like to give a short introduction of the types or classifications of the queue management.

Fundamental Types and Classifications of the Queue Management

Fundamental-Types-and-Classifications-of-the-Queue-Management

These classifications define the services and the overall operation. On the bases of that we determine which hardware components should be included in a particular queue management system solution:

Single Phase Single Channel

Single Phase Single Channel means there is only one agent/counter who will deliver the full service to a single visitor/customer.

Multi-Phase Single Channel

Multi-Phase Single Channel means there are multiple agents/counters to complete a single service and the visitor/customer will have to go through multiple counters for full-service delivery.

Single Phase Multi-Channel

Single Phase Multi-Channel business model means that there are multiple counter/agents for a single service and the customer can be sent to any counter for the full-service delivery.

Multi-Phase Multi-Channel

Multi-Phase Multi-Channel business model means that a full-service delivery requires to visit multiple counters and there are multiple counters/agents for each part of the service hence the customer will have to go through multiple counters for the full-service delivery. And for each service part, there are multiple servers available, the customer can be routed to any of the counters at the respective stage of the service delivery.

Important Hardware Selection and Configurations of QMS

Important-Hardware-Selection-and-Configurations-of-QMS

Now that we got a basic idea of how the queuing system works and how should we choose the hardware for a required business model. Let us discuss a few additional details that might further clarify the customer flow operation:

  1. The population of the customers
    • Limited: It means a limited number of expected visitors/customers, such as Psychiatrists clinic, boarding counters at the airport, etc
    • Unlimited: It means an unlimited number of the customers/visitors are expected, such as Banks, Sales Counters, Customers Support and Services Offices, etc
  2. Method of Arrival
    • Individual Arrival: Most of the businesses are operating on individual arrival model
    • Group Arrival: Only certain businesses or service centres adopt this model, such as HR departments, immigration services, etc
  3. Service Mechanism
    • Number of Counters: How many agents/counters do you have?
    • Service Types: Do all the counters/agents serve the same service or different services?
    • Number of Queues: Is there a single queue for all the counters/agents? Or separate queues for separate counters/agents?

Here are the basic hardware configurations for the above-mentioned queue management system setups:

Ticket Dispensing Units

This is the very first interaction of the visitor/customer with your branch or service centre. The visitor/customer will get a ticket as per their required service and will be issued a queue number. There are multiple ticket dispensing units types that are very popular in Dubai, UAE. Such as:

Kiosk Machine

A kiosk machine is the most popular ticket dispensing option all across the world. The kiosk machines with reasonably large and bright touch screens provide a good interactive experience. Very helpful in sign-ups with service lists, instructions and relevant information on the screen. Thermal printers are widely used to dispense the tickets.

Table Top Ticket Dispenser

Table Top Ticket Dispensers are more useful at the receptions and in such setups where the staff will generate the ticket or do the sign-up for the visitor/customer. Large touch screen with easy-access and small form factor can easily blend-in the surroundings and looks great on counters and receptions.

Wall Mount Ticket Dispenser

Wall mount ticket dispenser is built on a very compact form factor device and is very suitable for the situations when we have limited space.

Routing Display Units

The display units have to be placed on strategic locations so that each and every visitor/customer present in the waiting area should be able to view them. The routing display units are being used to display the current serving tickets, next tickets, and other relevant information.

Counter Plates and Signs

These counter plates and signs are used on the counters to direct customers and visitors to their counter/agent. There is multiple hardware which can be used for this purpose such as:

  1. Counter Plates: These are ordinary nameplates with counter numbers or names on them
  2. LED Screens: LED Dot Matrix Screens are dynamic LED displays to display the counter number or name, they can be controlled from the queue management system server
  3. LCD Screens: These are fully coloured small-sized screens to display the counter number and name, or any other information can be displayed as well form the QMS server

Sound System and Audio Announcements

The sound system and audio accouchements are very important, as some of the visitors/customers don’t pay attention to the routing display units, instead, they could be engaged in their smartphones, or conversations or anything, so the audio announcements could be very helpful. Multilingual announcements are even more effective.

Digital Signage and Large Displays

The digital signage and large displays are very helpful in keeping the visitor/customer engaged. Businesses can play promotional content, marketing content or any adverts on the large screens as well as the queuing information which not only reduce the stress of waiting but it also helps the customers/visitors to stay focused on the queue calling.

Virtual Queuing

Virtual queuing is a modern technology introduced to queue management systems. This enables visitors/customers to sign-up remotely via emails, calls, smartphone application, QR Codes, etc. This not only reduces the wait time to a significant level but also provides relevant real-time information to the customers/visitors. QR Codes can be generated and provided on convenient locations so that the customers can access them to do the sign-ups.

Physical Queue Management

The physical queue management is more effective in large places and for a very large number of visitors/customers such as cinema, airports, mass transit stations, etc. Here are some physical accessories that can be added along with the queue management system:

Stanchions or Belt Barriers

Stanchions or Belt Barriers are easy to manage and can be placed and removed quickly. They allow the branch management and staff to manage and route the queue more effectively. The stanchions are also very helpful in managing a large crowd in comparatively smaller spaces. This also eliminates the possibility of queue-jumping and line-cutting in large crowds.

Physical and Digital Signs

Physical and Digital Signs are used to route customers/visitors effectively in large spaces. Especially in multi-place facilities when a service can be delivered through multiple counters and all of those counters are located in different areas. The physical and digital signs are very helpful in displaying the ticket information and/or directions in lobbies, escalators, etc. A combination of digital signs with dynamic information and static of physical signs can help to manage the customer flow with ease and efficiency.

Human/Agent Management

In human/agent management setup the businesses provide a dedicated staff member or agent to a single visitor/customer so that the agent can take the customer through the whole journey and make it more convenient and stress-free for them. Obviously, this is a very costly queue management solution so most of the organizations and businesses are using this along with all above-mentioned hardware for their selected/premium customers/visitors only. The staff agent can perform all the task with the following devices:

  1. Portable computers
  2. Apple iPad or Android Tablets
  3. Portable QR Code Readers and Scanners
  4. Portable Ticket Dispensers and Printers

Any of the above or a combination of the above hardware can be provided in the queue management system to enhance the customer experience in human/agent management setup. Furthermore, a few other portable devices can also be added which should be carried by the agent/staff to ensure utmost customer satisfaction at the branch.

Queue Management System Software

Queue-Management-System-Software

No queue management system can provide the desired results without a well-crafted software and control console. Although the software is not part of the topic still I want to emphasise on its importance. Here are some of the important modules a queue management system should have in order to provide the highest performance and best returns over your investments:

  1. Customizable Administrative Control
  2. Data Collection and Synchronization
  3. Real-time updates and stats
  4. Centralized information centre
  5. Remote access and management
  6. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  7. Multilingual Compatibility
  8. Comprehensive Reporting Module
  9. Powerful Statistical and Analytical Engine
  10. Integration with third-party software and applications
  11. Smartphone Applications
  12. Customer Feedback Collection

The above-mentioned features are very critical if you want to achieve maximum operational efficiency of any queue management system setup. Though some of them might not be relevant to some of the configurations of the QMS setups I have mentioned above such as the smartphone applications and the customer feedback modules but rest of all are mandatory for any queue management system setup.

Conclusion

Before opting for any queue management system the businesses, consultant and the vendor should have to identify the requirements with 100% clarity. Then the hardware ingredients should be chosen with great care as per the queue management model.  The hardware component’s installation and other dependencies are there so repeatedly revamping the system could increase the cost as well as it could cause interruptions in the operations. The system components should be selected on the basis of the service type, service delivery mechanisms and the physical location. The hardware of a Queue Management System is a very important part but the QMS software should also be able to work in hormone with the hardware to achieve the desired results.

The queue management system is not only essential to handle large crowds or for customer flow management but it can heavily impact the general perception of your visitors/customers and can make or ruin your brand identity. It is always wise to contact an experienced consultant like RSI Concepts, the best queue management system providers in Dubai, UAE and GCC. But a basic knowledge of the system is also mandatory for the businesses and the organization who are looking for a new queue management system solution.

Personalized-Visit-Details

Personalized visit details data could really make a difference if used wisely by the communication department. There are only a very few organizations who have implemented it in Dubai, UAE. Most of the time businesses and organizations do not care much about collecting personalized visit details data or linking it with their queue management system. The personalized customer visit details such as a number of visits, preferred timings to visit, services availed, service delivery time, customer feedback and much more could help the communication department to further improve customer experience.

3. Reporting and Data Export Modules

Reporting-and-Data-Export-Modules

Modern days digital queue management systems are not only used for managing the customer flow. But these systems can provide a valuable data insight which can be utilized to improve customer flow as well as the customer experience and satisfaction. The export facility is also important, standard reports, customized reports and the system data should be available to export in easy to use digital formats. The summary and management reports could help management in the decision-making process. So the reporting and data export modules should be designed with extreme care.

4. Integration and APIs Compatibility

Most of the time the organizations and businesses require to integrate the usage data, statistical data and the reports of their queue management system with their existing enterprise solution or ERP. Which is why the integration and APIs compatibility for a queue management system is very important so that the system can easily be synchronized with the main information centre. The synchronization can work in both ways, for the queue management system the sign-up, logins and personalized details of the visitors can be validated through the main data bank of the organization. On the other hand, the queue management system data such as reports, usage stats and other data should be linked with the main information centre as well.

5. Virtual Queuing Modules
