Skip The Waiting Room

SkipTheWaitingRoom is a Canadian healthcare platform that provides online registration and appointment tools for walk-in clinics, diagnostic labs, and vaccination sites. Its goal is to reduce the frustration of in-person queues by allowing patients to reserve a spot digitally and receive alerts when it is their turn.

The system is simple: patients select a clinic from the website, register online, and receive confirmation via email, text, or phone call. When the clinic is ready to see them, they are notified to arrive, ensuring shorter waits once on site. The service is used across multiple provinces including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. This wide network covers hundreds of clinics, ranging from urban medical centres to rural community practices.

SkipTheWaitingRoom has been adopted by both independent clinics and provincial health authorities, particularly during flu season and vaccination campaigns. It integrates with clinic schedules to manage demand efficiently and help distribute patient flow. Beyond walk-in visits, it is used for imaging, lab requisitions, and seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

Patients benefit from reduced time in waiting rooms, safer access during peak infection seasons, and the convenience of digital reminders. For healthcare providers, the platform improves efficiency, reduces overcrowding, and offers better patient satisfaction.

As a national solution with strong uptake in both large cities and small communities, SkipTheWaitingRoom is accessible to residents of Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and many more locations across Canada.
