HEALTHCARE WAITING ROOM DISPLAYS
Bring order to the waiting room with a clean flip board that flips queues and notices into view. flaps.tv displays wait times, appointment calls, and front-desk messages on any lobby screen, forked from a template and updated live so patients always know where things stand.

A clinic waiting room board that shows the current estimated wait, how many patients are in the queue, and rotating check-in reminders. Defaults display an 18-minute wait in orange, 6 patients queued, and a ticker flipping through prompts like "check in at desk" and "insurance cards ready". Patients stop asking the front desk how much longer.
A dental office queue board that shows when the next chair opens, how far appointments are running behind, and rotating front-desk notes. A next-chair widget counts down through morning slots like 09:00 and 09:45, a counter shows the practice running 4 minutes late, and a ticker cycles reminders about forms, the kids' prize box, and rescheduling by text.
Setting up a waiting-room board patients trust
Design for the anxious glance. Now-serving numbers deserve the largest cells on the board — a patient should confirm their position from any seat — with a second column for the room or counter to head to. A multi-department lobby fits one row per department with its own queue number and estimated wait. Fork a healthcare template and use ticket numbers or initials in place of names; the fields are yours to edit, so the layout meets privacy expectations before it meets patients.
Connect the queue so the board is never wrong. Point a live data widget at the JSON or API feed from your scheduling or queue system and now-serving numbers and wait estimates flip within a second of the system advancing — no front-desk relay, no stale whiteboard. Live integrations are part of the Business plan. Practices without an API keep the same board and update it manually from the dashboard, which still pushes to the lobby screen instantly.
Keep secondary messages in their own scene. The queue stays on screen most of the loop; a short notices scene — flu-shot reminders, pharmacy pickup, closing hours — takes fifteen seconds and returns. A multi-site practice manages every lobby from one dashboard: shared notices update everywhere at once, while each location's queue scene stays wired to its own system. When hours change for a holiday, one edit reaches every waiting room in real time.

Can a wait-time board update from our queue system?
Yes. Connect a JSON or API feed from your scheduling or queue tool and now-serving numbers and waits flip in under a second.
Can we show queue numbers without displaying patient names?
Easily. Build the board around ticket numbers or initials by editing the fields on your forked template to fit privacy needs.
Does a lobby display need dedicated signage hardware?
No. The board runs in a browser on any waiting-room TV, so most clinics use a screen they already have.
What does a waiting-room board cost?
Boards are free to build, so a practice can design and review the layout before going live. Playing on a lobby TV starts at $8/mo for one display; live queue-system integration is part of the Business plan at $79/mo with unlimited screens.
Can one account run boards across several clinic locations?
Yes. Every display connects to the same dashboard, so a multi-site practice manages all its lobby boards from one place. Pro covers five displays at $29/mo, Business unlimited, and an edit to shared notices pushes to every location in real time.
