ROME, Ga., Dec. 1, 2023 – If you need to seek care at one of Atrium Health Floyd Urgent Care locations, Reserve Your Spot technology allows patients to pick a time to see a health care provider.
This eliminates the likelihood of long delays during cold and flu season. The convenience also means that patients can wait wherever they are comfortable before their visit.
“This is a big plus during cold and flu season," said Drew Dempsey, assistant vice president of strategy, planning and medical group operations at Atrium Health Floyd. “Instead of sitting in a waiting room, you can reserve a time on your phone and know that your spot is being held virtually,"
Anyone can go to floyd.org/urgentcare using a computer, tablet or phone to schedule an appointment at any of Atrium Health Floyd's seven urgent care locations.
In most cases, patients will be able to choose the time frame when they wish to be seen by a provider. When patients click on the teal “Reserve Your Spot" logo under the Urgent Care location they plan to visit, it will bring up a brief, secure online form, which will indicate which time slots are still open.
A drop-down menu asks patients to “Select a reason" for the visit.
The form will ask for the patient's name, when they want to be seen, their email, cell number and date of birth. That information will be kept confidential and will only be used by the office staff. The visit times are pre-selected based on operating hours and who has already made an appointment.
The form will also ask if the patient would like to receive a text message as a reminder.
