This is my presentation for my ER Wait Times idea QTime. I presented this idea at T4G Geekfest 2012, where I won the event! What is Geekfest you ask? GeekFest is T4G's annual showcase of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurialism. Find out more about the event here: http://geekfest.t4g.com

1. QTime
Simple idea…BIG impact
the power of “billboard” wait times & metrics

2. we’ve all been there…
…will I wait 5 minutes
or 5 hours?

3. idea validation Public Survey
Interviews with ER Staff
YouTube Video
“#1 complaint is not the wait times…
it’s NOT KNOWING the wait times”

5. informing
patients
calculate wait times for
nearby ER’s
smart phone “apps”
mobile website
waiting room “Live Queue”

6. empowering practitioners

8. “A well informed wait is a subjectively shorter
wait…
…Q-Time sounds like it could be ideally suited to
provide many of the metrics we'd want to display...
… Do you have a hospital as a live test bed or
need one/another one?…
I look forward to hearing from you, and learning
more about what T4G has been cooking up!”
