Online Check In is a touch-free kiosk that doesn't ask any question from your patient. It already knows your patient, so they just click "I have arrived" on their own phone and that's it. They are marked as arrived in your practice management software (Cliniko only) and you are notified that the patient has arrived. You can also get the system to ask your patients to fill their intake form if they haven't done it via messages that you have sent to them before. Many clinics are using this to make sure their waiting rooms are not overcrowded during the COVID-19 pandemic. They ask their patients to click "I have arrived" while waiting in their car. It simply is a smarter, touch-free, paperless, COVID safe-check-in mechanism.
