Concern 

P&SHD manages healthcare provision for 38 districts in Punjab. They wanted to deploy an electronic queue management system in 12 Tehsil Headquarter (THQ) Hospitals and 6 District Headquarter (DHQ) hospitals (EQMS) that would seamlessly and easily integrate with their existing Hospital Management Information System (HMIS), such that all patient information would be readily available when needed to facilitate effective patient journey flows. 

Additionally, they wanted the flexibility to call patients through a single terminal instead of two, thereby enabling centralized control over the operations at each hospital. With a daily visitor footfall of about 3000, P&SHD needed a more innovative and effective solution than a traditional linear queuing system.
