Description

Hospital Medical Report Self-Service Printing Kiosk

KER Hospital Medical Report Self-Service Printing Kiosk is an unattended document printing terminal designed for hospitals, clinics, medical examination centers, laboratories and diagnostic imaging departments.

Patients can identify themselves using a hospital card, national ID card, QR code, barcode, appointment number or other supported credentials. Once verification is completed, the kiosk can retrieve available medical reports from the connected hospital system and print them automatically.

Depending on the software and system integration, the kiosk can support laboratory reports, examination reports, imaging reports, health-check summaries, medical certificates, payment receipts and other patient documents.

The terminal helps hospitals reduce pressure on staffed report-collection counters, shorten patient waiting times and provide report printing services during extended operating hours.

The enclosure, screen size, printer capacity, identification devices, software workflow and hospital system connection can be customized according to project requirements.

Patient Identification and Verification

The kiosk can support different patient identification methods.

Optional identification devices include:

• Hospital or medical card reader

• Social security card reader
• IC card reader
• RFID or NFC reader
• QR code scanner
• Barcode scanner
• Appointment number input
• Patient number input
• Mobile phone number verification
• Passport reader
• Camera, subject to project requirements

The available identification method depends on the hospital system and local patient-registration process.
