UKMSC operates as a specialist hospital, requiring patients to present a referral from their previous hospital or clinic before consulting with a doctor. Specialists have the discretion to accept or decline the referral. Once accepted, the hospital schedules the patient’s appointment.
This multi-step process delays access to specialist care, requiring multiple trips for approval. It increases frustration, extends wait times, and worsens the patient experience
UKMSC faced long wait times due to manual processes for registration, scheduling, and patient tracking. Special needs patients weren’t prioritized, and the lack of real-time updates caused uncertainty, worsening the overall patient experience
Staff struggled with heavy workloads and frequent data errors, which detracted from patient care. Manual data entry slowed down urgent cases, compromising care quality and increasing dissatisfaction
UKM Specialist Centre partnered with Chup Online to reduce patient wait-time uncertainty and enhance management efficiency
Customized for UKMSC, this feature allows for online approval of referrals
Auto-rescheduling automatically updated and adjusts appointments
Prioritized special needs patients (erderly/OKUs) ensuring faster service.
Provides detailed reports on waiting times and service durations.
Automatically retrieves and fills patient data during registration or appointment.
Chup Online's Pre-Approval Process lets patients upload referral letters before appointments. UKMSC staff review these in advance to assign patients to the right doctor, speeding up registration and reducing front desk congestion.
Chup Online's advanced automation improves patient flow with its Auto-rescheduling function, which adjusts appointments in real-time and keeps patients informed of delays. This dynamic scheduling reduces stress, boosts patient satisfaction, and helps healthcare providers maintain an efficient workflow, even during busy periods.
Chup Online’s Fast Lane Button plays an essential role in the hospital’s queue management system, specifically designed to prioritize patients who need special attention, such as the elderly, individuals with disabilities (OKUs), and those in emergency situations. This feature ensures these patients bypass regular queues, allowing them to receive faster, tailored care that meets their specific needs. For the elderly and disabled, it reduces the strain of waiting for extended periods, while for emergencies, it provides immediate access to critical care, where timely intervention is vital.
Chup Online’s Analytics Report offers detailed, automatically updated insights into patient wait times and durations. Admins can export data for specific dates and times, including patient numbers, wait time summaries, and peak hour graphs. This powerful tool helps administrators allocate resources efficiently, optimize staff deployment, and improve the patient experience by identifying and addressing operational inefficiencies.
When staff register or book a new appointment, our system uses the Automatic Identifier feature to streamline the process by retrieving existing patient data. This feature auto-fills essential details like WhatsApp numbers and IC numbers, accelerating registration and ensuring accuracy. This automation makes appointment booking more efficient and less time-consuming for both patients and staff, reducing manual data entry errors and allowing staff to focus on improving patient care and service quality.
After Chup Online was implemented, the average patient waiting time dropped to 15 minutes. The system managed appointments and walk-ins effectively, achieving an 80% service rate with an average service duration of 9 minutes. Real-time updates and auto-rescheduling prevented bottlenecks, ensuring a smoother patient experience
