InQuicker™ is a online waiting service that enables individuals with
non-life-threatening medical conditions to check in for projected treatment
times prior to being seen by a healthcare professional at a medical facility.
Instead of sitting in the waiting room, InQuicker users enjoy the convenience
and comfort of waiting at home. InQuicker users do not skip in front of
other visitors and are seen based on the medical center's standard triage
and queuing process.
How It Works
Log on, select a projected treatment time, and wait at home until your time to be seen.
EMERGENCY ROOM CARE IS FOR LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS:
If you have any of the following symptoms, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest
medical center emergency room:
Chest pain
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Sudden blurred vision, dizziness, weakness or loss of coordination/balance
Numbness in the arm, leg or face
Severe abdominal pain or headache
Bleeding that will not stop
Coughing up or vomiting blood
Severe burns or life-threatening injury
Seizures
Salinas Valley Health Medical Center's emergency room is open 24 hours
every day. Appointments are not needed, although the most critically ill
patients are usually treated first. Emergency room treatment for a condition
that turns out not to be a true emergency is often covered at a lower rate.
The Emergency Department is a busy department with a lot of variety in
the kinds of illness and seriousness of injury. InQuicker provides a projected
treatment time and is not an appointment for treatment. Patients using
InQuicker will benefit from having the projected treatment time and alerting
Emergency Department staff of their arrival. Staff will work hard in all
cases to see the patient as close as possible to the projected treatment time.
