Overview
Queue management brings order to the waiting area: patients are called in a defined sequence, staff are not fielding questions about who is next, and the displays update as things change.
Why it matters
An orderly queue shortens the time patients spend waiting, takes pressure off front-line staff, and gives management a clear view of the load at each service point during the day.
How it connects
Queue tickets are issued when the patient registers in the outpatient module, and the doctor workstation calls the next patient when a consultation room frees up.
