BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to characterize check-in kiosk usage within a multidisciplinary ophthalmic clinic PATIENTS AND METHODS: Chart review of patients aged 18 or older seen at Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic, from August 1, 2019, to October 31, 2019. Primary endpoint was percentage of patients who used a check-in kiosk. Secondary endpoints were demographic characteristics and visual acuity (VA) of the two groups RESULTS: Of 13,752 patients, 3,542 (26%) used a check-in kiosk. Kiosk users were significantly younger than kiosk non-users (median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 63.6 [49.4-72.6] vs. 66.6 [55.0-75.4]; P < .0001), had a lower proportion of Medicaid patients (282 [8%] vs. 930 [10%]; P < .0001), and lived in areas with a greater median income (mean [± standard error]: $58,421 [± 399) vs. $54,992 [±236]; P < .0001). On average, they also had better VA (mean ETDRS [95% confidence interval]: 80.5 [80-80.9] vs. 78.3 [78-78.6]; P < .0001) CONCLUSIONS: Significant demographic and VA differences were observed between kiosk users and non-users and may influence kiosk usage.
