Patient Housing lobby and check-in updates to improve patient experience
November 6, 2023
Our Patient Housing team has been working hard behind the scenes to make improvements with our guests in mind.
When you walk into Patient Housing, you will notice three kiosks where you will start your check-in process. Don’t worry, if you need assistance checking in at the kiosks, staff are standing by to help.
Once you check in on the kiosk, you’ll receive a ticket with your unique check-in number. Screens are placed in the Patient Housing lobby and café dining area where you can track the status of your room for check-in. You may also choose to receive an SMS text message alert on your mobile phone, which will send your check-in information to your device when your ticket has been called.
The primary check-in desk has moved to the back of the lobby. Our Patient Experience staff, located next to the check-in kiosks are able to assist with meal cards, taxi vouchers, housing extensions and other questions.
Steps:
- Sign in at kiosk
- Kiosk will print ticket or guest can opt-in to text message alerts
- Your ticket will provide your unique ticket number and a QR code to our guest survey
- Have a seat, when your number is called, an overhead announcement will tell you which station to go to
- There are monitors is in the Patient Housing lobby and cafeteria displaying this information as well
- Once number is called, make sure you go to the correct station
New check-in and checkout times
In order to better serve guests and to decrease the amount of time to get into your room, Patient Housing check-in time is now 4 p.m. Checkout time is noon.
