Ask HN: Self-Checkin Terminals for Doctors

1 points by momoelz ↗ HN
Imagine self checkin terminals similar to that of mcdonalds for doctors offices to replace or reduce the amount of staff needed?

Flow in europe: Client enters the office, puts in the e-card, and enters why he is here, gets a ticket for his place in the queue. His turn, goes to the doctors room, gets the service. Leaves the doctors room, goes to terminal puts in e-card and receives receipt for medication or what ever is due.

This is just a simple overnight idea, not thought through but a starting point. Looking to hear your feedback.

What the person at the desk actually does when I check in:

- Check in docs or with doctor if any tests need to be taken prior visit. And takes tests

- Glance at my history and ask follow-up questions for prior visits and medications. Informs the doc.

- On a prescription asks me for other medicaments that could raise cross issues (very important step here)

- Actually gives me the medication (might be a swiss thing)

2 of 4 things an AI can't do. And 4 things I don't want a computer to do.

Which region are you thinking about? In Germany, there are solutions like that on the market, you can check out dubidoc, CGM and others.
thanks, that are some cool interesting solutions, haven't come across them yet!
