Northridge Hospital Medical Center in Northridge, Calif., is implementing three ED kiosks from Addison, Texas-based Medhost that the company says will expeditepatient check in, assist nurses in managing triage, and streamline patient registration.
Upon arrival, ED patients can check in with the touch-screen kiosk. After patients check in, their information instantly becomes visible in the Medhost EDIS, which gives clinicians a real-time view of the waiting room and immediately alerts them to any high-risk patients, the company touts.
