# Queue System for Laboratories and Diagnostic Centres

A lab has three queues in one: sample collection, imaging and result collection. Separate tickets for each keep patients and staff clear.

People forgive a wait they can see the order of.

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Fasting patients go first, fairly
- Separate lines
- Quiet calling

Why this matters now

## Every busy day without order is a day your reputation is built by the loudest person in the queue.

### If you wait

- Crowds at the counter and arguments over who is next
- Staff shouted at for the order
- No idea where the time is lost

### What you get

- Tickets, screens and pagers keep the order
- Calm staff and calmer customers
- Reports show the wait by hour and counter

## Key takeaways

- Fasting patients go first, fairly
- Separate lines
- Quiet calling
- Results desk is clear

## Why it matters

Labs and diagnostic centres handle patients who are fasting, anxious or in pain. A clear order and a quiet call system make the visit calmer for them and for the staff.

**Fasting patients go first, fairly**: Priority tickets for patients who cannot wait long.

**Separate lines**: Sample collection, imaging and result collection each have a ticket.

**Quiet calling**: Pagers or a screen replace shouting names.

**Results desk is clear**: Patients collect results by number, not by crowding the counter.

## What to check before you buy

| Check | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| Ticket lines | Sample, imaging and results are common |
| Priority | For fasting and elderly patients |
| Pagers | For patients who wait outside or in the car |
| Screen | Shows the number and room |
| Privacy | Numbers instead of names on screens |
| Reports | Time from arrival to sample and to results |
| Power | UPS for the display and kiosk |

## How we set it up

1. **Walk the lab**: We mark reception, sample rooms, imaging and the results desk.
2. **Install the kiosk**: At reception with a button for each service.
3. **Fit keypads and screens**: A keypad per room and a screen in the waiting area.
4. **Add pagers**: A set of pagers for patients who wait outside.
5. **Train the team**: A short session at each station.

## How to put it to the hospital or clinic

Pitch the lab manager: patients waiting for results are the loudest and the least patient. A results queue and pagers settle the room. Quote the kiosk, keypads, a screen and a set of pagers.

**Tip**: Installers and resellers: ask us for a trade quote and we deliver the whole list to your site in one trip.

## Frequently asked questions

Can we show names on the screen?

Numbers protect privacy and are the usual choice.

How many pagers do we need?

Count the busiest hour and add a few spare.

Do imaging rooms need keypads?

Yes, so staff can call the next patient without leaving the room.

Can results be sent by SMS?

That depends on your lab software, not the queue equipment.
