Patients need to feel safe when visiting your office. The new Doctible Virtual Waiting Room in NextGen Office makes this happen. All of the pre-arrival tasks are automated and efficient - both for your staff and your patients.

How it Works

3. Patient Health Status Ticker Updated
Doctible dashboard is automatically updated with the patient's health status and is available for review by the staff

4. Patient Arrival Indicator
Patient receives a text message 1 hour prior to their appointment to confirm if they've not developed any new symptoms . If patient indicates that they have not , then the patient sends a text to indicate they have arrived and Doctible arrival tracker is updated on the dashboard

5. Ready for Patient
Once your staff is ready , they can easily click on the patient's name to notify them that they are ready to be seen. The patient can then come in the office. Friendly instructions are automatically included
