Customer Queues: ‘There’s Got To Be a Better Way to Do This’

If you’ve ever waited in an unbudging customer line, then you’ve thought to yourself, “There’s got to be a better way to do this.” This is an issue that plagues facility managers and store owners regardless of industry, and like many other processes that have revolutionized brick and mortar stores, the answer to this…

If you’ve ever waited in an unbudging customer line, then you’ve thought to yourself, “There’s got to be a better way to do this.” This is an issue that plagues facility managers and store owners regardless of industry, and like many other processes that have revolutionized brick and mortar stores, the answer to this problem may lie in efficient uses of data and technology.

On this episode of the podcast, host Tyler Kern sat down with Erik Berg, sales consultant for the North American region at NEMO-Q, to discuss best practices for customer queuing.

“It’s the face of your business. Someone comes into your office, and it’s the very first impression they get,” he said.

NEMO-Q is a growing company that sells and designs queuing systems for government agencies, hospitals, and companies. Unlike the traditional waiting or line experience, NEMO-Q also provides companies with the ability to collect data by soliciting feedback.

In this episode, Berg discussed different methods for check-in, including an on-site kiosk or remote check-in on your smartphone or computer, and why this elevated experience can change a visitor’s entire perception of an experience.

“You’re inevitably going to have long lines in government offices, for example, so the name of the game becomes about the organization and whoever delivers best will win,” Berg said.

Showing real-time wait times online is one way to mitigate the waiting process for customers, he explained.

“Having a modern solution to organize your walk-in traffic is almost a necessity,” he said.

Hospitals need a shortlist as cardiology AI clearances hit 225

Hospitals need a shortlist as cardiology AI clearances hit 225

Cardiology now has 225 FDA-cleared AI algorithms when imaging is included. That volume is the problem. Health systems now need tighter governance, integration checks, and clinical workflow evidence to decide what ships.

  • 01The useful benchmark for governance committees is scale: FDA-cleared AI totals 1,524 overall, with radiology at 1,163 and cardiology at 225 when CV imaging is included, according to Cardiovascular Business.
  • 02Procurement risk is shifting from “is it cleared?” to “where does it run?” because new clearances span cath lab guidance, echo quantification, remote monitoring, and image assessment tools that touch different systems of record.
  • 03AliveCor shows the long game: Healio reported 510(k) clearance for an ECG AI suite in 2020, and Cardiovascular Business listed a new clearance in 2026, a reminder to vet update cadence and post-clearance support.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT for Healthcare is getting wired into Epic

OpenAI’s ChatGPT for Healthcare is getting wired into Epic

ChatGPT for Healthcare can now read from Epic. UCSF Health is piloting the read-only integration, according to Fierce Healthcare and Becker’s Hospital Review. For CIOs, the work is permissions, auditability, and clinical validation in Epic workflows.

  • 01The “read-only” label doesn’t remove governance work, it moves it to permissions mapping, audit logs, and connector scope design inside Epic-supported workflows.
  • 02OpenAI’s published clinician review results (99.1% rated safe across 4,363 ratings) are a useful benchmark, but they still need local validation on your own note templates, meds workflows, and specialty mix.

The EU’s MDR delay buys time, but it won’t clear your commissioning bottleneck

The European Commission backed extending EU MDR transition deadlines to December 2027 and December 2028, Medical Design & Outsourcing reported. It buys time, not ramp-up capacity. Design News cites digital commissioning and machine digital twins to cut “power-on” surprises and speed validation and operator training.

  • 01If an EU portfolio includes Class III, December 2027 is now the planning anchor, but the internal gating item may shift to validation capacity and automation readiness, not paperwork.
  • 02Digital commissioning is becoming a procurement spec, not a buzzword, because it lets teams run DFM/DFA learning loops before hardware is built, which Design News notes is meant to reduce machine power-on surprises.
