How it works
We calculate an estimated wait time
Backlog and queue minutes are combined, adjusted for cancellations freeing up slots and walk-ins adding load, into a wait-risk score.

See an estimated wait in minutes plus recommended actions for front-desk and patient communication, scaled to the risk level.

Frequently asked questions
Is the estimated wait time a guarantee?
No. It's an informational estimate based on the numbers you enter, meant to help set patient expectations — not a scheduling commitment or clinical determination.
Why does the cancellation rate reduce the estimate?
A higher cancellation rate means slots are more likely to open up unexpectedly, which can shorten the effective queue even if the same number of patients are currently booked ahead.
How is walk-in load factored in?
Walk-ins add unplanned demand on top of the scheduled queue, so heavier walk-in volume increases both the estimated wait and the wait-risk score.
Can this replace a real-time queue management system?
No. This is a quick manual estimate. A dedicated patient flow or queue management system with live check-in data will be far more accurate for ongoing operations.
