The new Ksyen Regional Hospital will feature state-of-the-art technology, including patient self-check-in kiosks for scheduled appointments.
Cardboard Spirit promotes new patient self-check-in kiosks coming to Ksyen Regional Hospital
To help promote these new kiosks, Spirit the (cardboard) Caribou was brought in to show where the new kiosks will go and what they look like. However, he went on a little adventure first...
“There was a bit of a mix up when the kiosk sign was delivered,” explains Julie Creaser, Regional Manager of Consumer Health Systems. Julie and her team oversee the exciting new patient technology at Northern Health which includes the new self-check-in kiosks that are coming to Ksyen Regional Hospital in Terrace.
“While the delivery company said Spirit the (cardboard) Caribou had been delivered, he was nowhere to be found for almost seven weeks! This happened around the same time as the busy holiday shipping season, so we had high hopes he would eventually turn up.”
The mystery of Spirit the (cardboard) Caribou is solved
The mystery was suddenly solved, when cardboard Spirit showed up at the facility one February day, without any explanation for their misadventures.
Teresa Ward, who works as a Health Information Coordinator at Ksyen, shared, “This sign showed up in the entrance way of Ksyen Regional Hospital. I have no clue who put it up there, but we do have it!”
To the mystery person who brought cardboard Spirit to his new home at Ksyen Hospital, thank you!
Stay tuned for when the new patient self-check-in kiosks are available.
When the patient self-check-in kiosks are up and running, information will be shared at on the Northern Health website and on the Northern Health social media channels!
