ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL: UrgiCare now offers online appointment reservations, with Save My Spot

Clock

St. Elizabeth's Hospital issued the following announcement on Nov. 16.

HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital UrgiCare and Clockwise.MD have partnered to offer online appointment scheduling for the St. Elizabeth’s O’Fallon UrgiCare. The new Save My Spot option allows patients to decrease wait time through online reservation/appointment scheduling.

The Clockwise.MD solution improves the overall patient experience by allowing patients to reserve a spot in line from any computer, smartphone or tablet, receive real-time status updates about wait times, and view their position in the queue.

“HSHS St. Elizabeth’s is privileged to offer this added service to improve patient experience and transparency of wait times for our always-on-the-go patients and families,” said Sara Fishbein, BSN, RN, Assistant Manager of HSHS St. Elizabeth’s UrgiCare. “Additionally, walk-in patients without an appointment are also accepted.”

St. Elizabeth’s UrgiCare clinic is located at 1512 N. Green Mount Road, O’Fallon, Illinois and provides convenient, high-quality care for non-emergent unexpected illnesses, minor accidents and work-related injuries. The clinic is open 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. daily.

“While UrgiCare is an extension of St. Elizabeth’s Emergency Room, it is intended for those with minor medical problems, which allows for decreased wait times. Anyone with serious medical problems like chest pain or major trauma should always seek medical attention at the nearest emergency room, or dial 9-1-1,” Fishbein added.

UrgiCare services are billed as Emergency Room services. Please review your benefit plan for Emergency services to understand your coverage.
