Self-Service Patient Kiosk
Capture any data in discrete format
A KIOSK Above the Rest
Patient Registration, Billing, Downtime and More
Our iPad-based Patient Kiosk application, for patient registration and check-in, is just one component of our Mobile Solutions Platform (MSP). We’ve developed front-end applications on both HTML & iOS – creating a familiar and pleasant experience on both an iPad or traditional ATM-like Kiosk.
The underlying technology is what transforms our simple app into an extremely dynamic and robust cloud-based platform, comprised of the following:
- A Forms Generation Engine – Allows TSG to easily personalize each and every element on every screen (fields, buttons, dropdowns, checkboxes, text, voice files; etc.) to create custom workflows from bottom-up.
- A Rule-based Workflow Engine – To automate and drive workflows with intelligent business rules and logic.
- A Database Engine – Uses open database technology for alerts, triggers and BI analytics capabilities.
- An Integration Engine – For multi-layer integration with any Electronic Health Record.
- Real-time Master Patient Index Database Synchronization – For speedy MPI search at the kiosk level, and support for EHR downtime.

Functionality
INTEGRATION & DOWNTIME
Integration Experts – The Shams Group has been working with Hospitals and Health Systems for more than 25 years and has integrated with more than 80 different systems, platforms, versions and modules. Our product comes with a pre-built integration engine that supports the HL7 protocol, SQL to SQL protocol. For Meditech hospitals, we provide an Interface Engine (Astro) and Meditech adapter that is capable of extracting data from MEDITECH and uploading data back into MEDITECH. No interfaces need to be purchased from MEDITECH.
We have developed interfaces with Cerner, NextGen, All Scripts, Trakcare, MEDITECH all versions, McKesson and many other EHR/EMR/HIS solutions. We integrate with hospital information systems as well as physician practice management systems.
Downtime Registration Solution – Additionally, we go a step further and download your entire Master Person Index (MPI). Therefore, our solution can act as a mini registration module that offers you a down-time mechanism. When your EHR or an existing registration module is down, you don’t have to resort to paper. Patients can continue registering at the kiosks, and when the system is back up, everything is automatically synchronized, thus allowing you to capture crucial admissions information and have it immediately available for your staff. Once the HIS system is live everything is transferred automatically to it.
- Register patients electronically, eliminating paper logging and manual data input into the HIS system
- Scanned driver’s licenses, ID, insurance cards and any other patient document during the downtime registration process will automatically transmit to the HIS System
- Customized field to accommodate your organization’s workflow needs necessary for a patient to be admitted
- Risk of generating duplicate medical record numbers during downtime decreases
Outcomes
- The time to complete the entire process will go from 26 minutes to 2 minutes – a 90% reduction.
- The overall cost of registration per patient will drop by 50% thus allowing the organization to handle more patient volume with the same number of staff – simultaneously enhancing patient satisfaction.
