Patient Point, a simple and quick way for patients to check in for their appointment has been released by PracticeWorks. Using a touch screen display, patients enter their details on arrival for treatment, avoiding the need to queue.

With patients able to check in for their own appointment, the team on reception is then free to deal with more complex enquiries and other duties. With automated check in now a common sight at airports and train stations, as well as doctor's surgeries and health centres, dental practices can also enjoy the benefits of the system. The Patient Point is simple to install, run and use.
