Brooklyn’s Kings County Hospital Center to Introduce Self-Service Kiosks in the Emergency Department

As a person who had the benefit of training at Kings County Hospital, I am proud to see the institution continue its progressive vision. The local community will benefit from the option. SV

MAITLAND, Fla. – Kings County Hospital Center, a 627-bed public hospital located in Brooklyn, N.Y., plans to deploy self-service kiosks in its emergency department to streamline the check-in and triage process. The MediKiosk™ software solution, from Galvanon, an NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) company, automates patient registration and helps emergency department staff prioritize treatment based on medical urgency.

“Like many emergency departments, we experience extremely high patient volumes every day,” said Albert Porco, CIO of Kings County Hospital Center. “By using MediKiosk to expedite the check-in process, we will be able to better manage wait times and decrease stress associated with a visit to the emergency department.”
