Unibased Systems Architecture, Inc. (USA), the leading provider of enterprise scheduling and surgery management solutions to the health care industry, and Galvanon, the patient experience company, today announced they have formed an alliance to provide patient self-service kiosks to the health care industry. Under the terms of the agreement, USA will offer Galvanon's MediKioskTM and customer value management technology as an optional integrated feature of its #1 rated enterprise scheduling solutions.

Galvanon's MediKiosk is a free-standing kiosk with a touch-screen interface that automates patient registration and check-in processes. Using MediKiosk, patients can check in for appointments, obtain their patient agenda of scheduled services, verify registration information, electronically sign consent forms, make a co-payment and find their way in a facility. Galvanon's Customer Value Management Enterprise Server is the foundation of Galvanon's self-service applications, including the MediKiosk. The single, end-to-end platform allows users to manage information across an extended network, such as patient preferences and permissions. The software also helps health care organizations manage patient flow through patient encounter management features that enable front-desk personnel to view and manage checked-in patients, saving time and improving workflow.

This relationship will help our customers provide a better patient experience, streamline workflow by reducing check in time by 30% for new patients and by 50% for existing patients, improve safety through accurate patient identification, reduce duplicate data entry, enhance privacy and increase patient satisfaction," stated Barry M.
