HealthLynked
Launches QwikCheck V2.0, with Dynamic Linking for Healthcare
Facilities to Streamline Check-in and Maintain Social
Distancing
Naples, Florida -- September
28, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- HealthLynked (OTCQB: HLYK) a global healthcare network
focused on care management of its members and a provider of
healthcare technologies that connect doctors, patients, and medical
data, announced today the launch of its new patient check in
system, QwikCheck V2.0. The new version offers a streamlined
process for practices to institute remote patient check-in without
the need for any additional hardware. The new check-in system uses
dynamic linking, which allows a single QR code tied to a practice
that works seamlessly with both Android and iOS
platforms.
Patients can now check in for their
doctor's appointment using their mobile devices regardless of their
smart phone's operating system, age, or model. If the patient is
not a current HealthLynked user, they are directed to download the
HealthLynked App and then continue the check-in process. Patients
then check-in by selecting their healthcare provider, submitting
their phone number, and updating their healthcare information. This
information is shared with their doctor and can be done via their
mobile device right in the HealthLynked app.
Once a patient has completed their initial setup, on return visits
they are recognized, and the check-in process is even faster and
more streamlined. One important benefit of QwikCheck V2.0 is it
allows patients to maintain social distance from the office staff
and other patients while waiting for their appointment.
Medical practices can monitor patient
check-ins through their QwikCheck dashboard and notify patients via
SMS messaging to their mobile device when the healthcare provider
is ready to see them. Patient intake information is provided to the
practice via the application and eliminates front office exposure,
time and redundant paperwork. QwikCheck V2.0 also provides all the
back-end analytics for practices to manage their patient flow and
optimize their provider's schedules. QwikCheck V1.0 is still
available for practices wishing to provide a secure Wi-Fi
connection to patients while they are waiting by utilizing our
Patient Access Hub.
QwikCheck V2.0 has been tested in selected medical practices and
the feedback has been tremendous. The adoption rate is 99.9% and
patients love the ease of checking in and not waiting in line at
their provider's office. Patients can also watch healthcare videos
and read healthcare blogs. Patient can choose to wait outside the
waiting room and still be notified via their smart phone when the
doctor is ready to see them.
Patients have delayed medical treatments due to concerns about
Covid-19 with over 42.9M cases in the US and 688K deaths. QwikCheck
provides a safer way for patients to receive medical care and
reduce the risk of exposure for both patients and healthcare
providers.
Dr. Michael Dent CEO stated, "The new version of QwikCheck provides
a needed service to the Healthcare community and reduces the
exposure risk of Covid-19 in medical waiting rooms. We are excited
to offer this tool to the medical community to better managing
patient check-in and save lives by allowing patients to maintain
social distancing during medical visits."
