Creating an Appointment Waitlist App for clients in different sectors and waiting areas, such as Hospitals, Government offices, Telecommunications companies, and Bank lobbies. This App manages clients visits to these areas, their waitlist of appointments and improve their overall satisfaction. In addition, through this platform, another way could be utilized in where users can book people to occupy seats in these public spaces for a specified period, allowing them to attend to other tasks while someone holds their place in line.
For instance, in Hospitals, when occupancy levels get higher, it becomes challenging to match patients to appropriate areas of care. Which results in delays in finding rooms or beds for patients in addition to the increased pressure on healthcare staff. This can lead to delays in care, patients placed in locations inadequate for their care and treatment, as well as an increase in adverse events. And when there are delays in care for people coming in with emergencies or people with acute conditions, those delays may be fatal.
Research indicates increased mortality associated with extreme occupancy status, especially when that's affiliated with evidence of poor flow in the Emergency Department.
This App may solve these problems through screening patients at the door, asking patients to fill out virtual paperwork through the app, and allowing symptomatic patients to wait in their vehicles or at their houses until they receive a text via the application that it is their turn to be seen and way more.
Another example is in the Telecommunication companies, this platform could be especially useful for those who need to visit busy Ooredoo customer service centres where waiting times can be notoriously long. By using this App or by renting out a person to occupy a seat through the platform, customers can leave and come back at their appointment time without the hassle of waiting in line. This service could benefit those who have mobility issues, are busy, or simply want to avoid long waiting times.
