The Smart Way To Manage Receptions

i-Receptionist was created in collaboration with a leading NHS Health Trust and our strategic partner, Intouch with Health, the provider of choice for Hospitals Patients and Visitors Check-in and Flow Management solutions.

Developed for NHS Health Trusts and Boards, i-Receptionist allows Hospital patients and visitors to contact and have a video call with a remotely based reception team using either interactive screens strategically located throughout the Hospital or through their smartphone. As a result, patients and visitors can contact the Trust’s reception team from any location at anytime, including before entering the Hospital buildings, such as from their phone in the carpark.

i-Receptionist connects patients and hospital visitors to your centrally organised or remote reception team, extending your reception service reach to everywhere at anytime - including out-of-hours clinics. It also supports social distancing measures and shielding staff in the workplace, while elevating the patient and visitor experience and realising significant operational efficiencies and cost savings.

Hospital Boards and Trusts are seeking to re-imagine how care and services can be provided moving forward, and i-Receptionist is an example of innovative technology that can play a key role in hospital digital transformation projects.

An i-Receptionist solution will support hospitals to deliver rich, dynamic and high-quality services in a socially distanced format to patients and visitors alike. It will also enable Health Boards & Trusts to rationalise and centrally pool reception resources, as well as facilitate tele-working, all of which will elevate their reception service across multiple buildings and sites.

A Powerful Tool for Hospitals and all Sectors

The cost saving and efficiency benefits being realised within the NHS are now available for all public and private sector organisations to take advantage of. Whether it is to manage visitors to council offices within a District, students and visitors of Universities Campuses, or to help bring positive digital transformational changes to global corporate businesses, i-Receptionist can deliver significant cost savings and efficiencies, help to free up high-value staff to focus on more critical duties, while also improving customer service.

With no limit to the number of reception areas that can be 'rationalised' with the introduction of i-Receptionist, Kingdom Technologies team of experts will deliver a tailored solution to meet your organisations unique wants and needs.

Informative Live Dashboard

Locating a clinic / hospital area / relative / patient

Locating an office / a section / a department /

Appointments / deliveries /
