00:00A new digital check-in system is being introduced at more London A&E departments.
00:06Patients can scan a QR code and answer questions about their symptoms and condition.
00:11That information is then added to the hospital system so triage nurses can review it before
00:16seeing patients. The aim of the codes is to identify potentially serious cases more quickly
00:23and reduce delays at the start of a hospital visit. The system is already operating at Northwick
00:29Park Hospital in Harrow. It's due to be introduced at Ealing Hospital in October before being
00:34rolled out to four more London hospitals. Patients unable to use the digital system can still
00:41check in with reception staff.
