Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Order you can see - Calmer corridors - Staff stay in control - Waiting time on paper ## Why it matters A hospital is several queues in a row: registration, triage, consultation, lab, pharmacy and billing. Without a system, patients crowd corridors, ask the nurse for their turn and lose their place when they step out. A queue system gives every patient a number and calls it from the right counter. **Order you can see**: Numbers are called in sequence, so arguments about who came first end. **Calmer corridors**: Patients sit down and watch the screen instead of crowding the door. **Staff stay in control**: Each counter calls, recalls, skips or transfers the next number from a keypad. **Waiting time on paper**: Reports show which department and which hour build the longest queue. ## How a patient moves through it How a patient moves through it Patient arrivesTakes a ticket at the entrance kiosk Registration counterNumber called, file opened Triage and consultationCalled by number to the right room Lab or pharmacyTicket moves with the patient Billing and exitFinal call, then feedback button ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Number of departments | One ticket line per service point, so plan counters and rooms first | | Ticket kiosk | Touch screen or button box with a service per button | | Counter or room keypads | Each consulting room and counter needs one | | Display screens | Large enough to read from the back of each waiting area | | Voice calling | Helps patients who cannot see the screen; check the model | | Reports | Waiting time by department, counter and hour | | UPS | Keeps the system running through a power cut | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk the patient route**: We follow a patient from the gate to the exit and mark every point where people wait. 2. **Choose the ticket points**: Entrance kiosk plus any department with its own wait. 3. **Place screens and keypads**: One keypad per counter or consulting room and a screen in each waiting area. 4. **Cable and power**: Network cable and a UPS for the kiosk, server and displays. 5. **Configure and train**: Services, counters, priorities and reports set up; staff trained on call, recall and transfer. 6. **Review after two weeks**: We check the reports with you and adjust counters and priorities. ## Available now at Qyvea These are real products from the Qyvea store with live prices.

Yes. Start with registration and pharmacy, then add departments as you grow. Can some patients be served first? Most systems support priority tickets; confirm the model before you buy. What if the power goes off? A UPS keeps the kiosk, server and screens running, and the hospital generator should power the same circuit. Can we see reports? Waiting time by department and hour comes from the system software. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
