Hi!
Our office recently started paperless charting. We, however, are still working on figuring out a way to check our patients in. Our charting program does have an option for this- but can be quite expensive. Before going paperless, when a patient arrived we would pull their charts. In transition we've been printing tray sheets with the patient's name and placing in arrival order. This is very wasteful since we only need the sheet to see the patient's name.
I am curious as to how your office checks patients in and informs the assistant/hygiene staff.
We've tossed around ideas of a dry erase board with a patient's name.... listing names on a sheet of paper.... nothing that has been an amazing idea yet.
Thanks so much!
