Patients at the Thompson Clinic no longer have to check-in with the front desk receptionist.

Manager of the Clinic, Shamilla Thethy says they’ve installed 4 new self check-in kiosks:

"The self check-ins are little kiosks that are available for people to come in, and check in their information to be able to check-in for their appointments instead of having to wait in line to check-in with a receptionist. So they would check-in for the appointment, they’ll check in their name and address, the demographics and go in for their appointment". 

Thethy says the kiosks were installed last month, and that the response has been good, adding that 82% of patients surveyed say they would use them again.

They were funded by Manitoba Patient Access Network. The Pas and Flin Flon clinics will be getting the kiosks next month.
