North Kansas City Hospital automates the equivalent of 80 FTEs and cuts patient check-in time by over 90% with Notable

The problem

NKCH & MH faced persistent staffing shortages, with 43–45 open job requisitions in early 2021, leaving them able to pre-register only 40% of patients and causing slow check-in and intake processes that led to frequent denials and write-offs.
