Fact Sheet

What is InQuickER?

InQuickER is an online early-registration system for the emergency room (ER) and urgent care center. Prospective patients with lower-acuity conditions can register online to "hold their place" in the ER. Instead of spending time in the waiting room, they are able to wait at home. It's fast and easy.

How can I use InQuickER?

What if my condition requires immediate treatment?

If you need immediate treatment, do not use InQuickER. Go directly to the emergency room or call 911.

How can you schedule ER treatment? Isn't the ER based on triage?

All emergency departments use a triage system to evaluate incoming patients. As a result, patients with low-acuity symptoms may experience a longer wait while patients with higher-acuity symptoms receive priority treatment. InQuickER allows patients with lower-acuity symptoms to wait at home, rather than in the waiting room.

Patients who use InQuickER wait just as long (or longer) to be seen as other patients; InQuickER does not shorten the wait time, it simply allows prospective patients to wait at home or at another location before coming in to the ER.

What if a more urgent patient arrives at my projected treatment time?

If the ER triage nurse determines that another patient has a greater need of immediate treatment when you arrive, that patient will receive prioritized treatment.

What if I am not seen within 15 minutes of my chosen treatment time?

InQuickER is backed by a 15-minute money-back guarantee; see the website at www.inquicker.com for details. Feedback from past InQuickER users indicates that over 95% of the people who register with InQuickER are seen in 15 minutes or less.
