The self-check-in system at the Accident and Emergency Department at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry has “gone live.”
Patients over the age of 14 who self-present to the A&E department can now check in and report their condition using a touch screen kiosk.
The Western Trust is the first HSC Trust in Northern Ireland to offer this latest technology to A&E patients.
The kiosks are located in the reception area of the A&E department with the new system using one touch technology to let patients input information easily.
It also allows patients more privacy if they do not wish to discuss their illness/problem with staff.
