WAIT LIST MANAGER

State of Healthcare Today

With populations aging and chronic disease levels on the rise, healthcare systems are strained. One of the byproducts of strained healthcare systems is patient wait lists. Unfortunately, wait lists are a necessary evil in today’s intricate healthcare environment. Wait lists are often manual and fail to show the whole picture as it relates to a particular patient or an entire service providing organization. Managing wait lists manually makes it nearly impossible to accurately prioritize patients and provide patients with equal and fair access to services. Manual wait lists do not update automatically and cannot provide organizational or individualized information in real time. Managers, clinicians and patients are unable to access and view the information they need as it relates to the services being provided and the services being received by the patients.

Unique Wait List Records

Wait list efficiencies for administrators, providers and patients are now possible. Eceptionist’s Wait List Manager creates a unique record for each service in which a patient is waiting. This record supports and allows the management of the patient wait process across your organization. Organizations can determine the information contained in this record including, but not limited to, a unique Wait List ID, full patient name, service request date, preferred service site, service, priority, deferred status and wait list suspension periods. Wait List Manager prevents duplicate entries and errors and eliminates the need to tediously consolidate different wait lists made in different programs by different healthcare providers.

Flexible and Powerful Reporting

Wait List Manager’s reports give you full control over wait list and wait time reporting; create general or detailed reports to suit your specific needs. The content, timing, frequency, format, and even the method of distributing the reports can all be easily managed and customized to meet individual needs. Flexible reporting makes it easy to meet compliance and accounting goals.

Single Access Point

Wait List Manager offers a single access point for service managers, providers and those in the healthcare community to manage, coordinate and report on multiple waitlists across multiple service areas and multiple sites. Wait List Manager seamlessly works with Eceptionist’s other modules to ensure seamless workflow from the point of the referral to the wait list to the actual appointment.
