Clinic Wait Time Widget

Show estimated wait times directly on your clinic website.

TONVUX Status gives Alberta walk-in clinics and medical clinics a simple way to publish real-time wait times and clinic availability on their own website.

Instead of asking patients to call for basic updates, your clinic can show current wait time, open or closed status, walk-in availability, provider availability, and clinic announcements in one clear website widget.

What is a clinic wait time widget?

A clinic wait time widget is a small website display that shows patients current clinic status information before they visit.

The widget is designed to help patients quickly understand whether your clinic is open, accepting walk-ins, and experiencing a longer or shorter wait.

Can show

Core status fields

Estimated wait time, open or closed status, walk-in availability, provider availability, and location-specific updates.

Can include

Patient action paths

Clinic announcements plus links to request more information or contact the clinic.

Built for Alberta walk-in clinics

Walk-in clinics in Calgary, Edmonton, and across Alberta often need to manage changing patient volume throughout the day. TONVUX helps keep this information visible on the clinic’s own website, where patients are already looking for hours, location details, and contact information.

Clinic is busyShow a longer estimated wait so patients understand current demand.
Walk-in capacity limitedLet patients know when capacity is limited or temporarily unavailable.
Provider unavailablePost a general provider availability label using approved clinic wording.
Clinic closes earlyMake early closure updates visible before patients travel.
Check back laterGive patients a simple next step when availability changes.
Location is busierHelp patients compare status across Alberta clinic locations.

Why show wait times on your own website?

Your clinic website is one of the most important patient touchpoints. Patients may search your clinic name, check your hours, look for directions, or call from your contact page.

Website value

Answer before the call

Adding live wait time and clinic status information helps your website answer common questions before the patient picks up the phone.

Clinic-owned

Keep control of status information

Your clinic controls how status information appears instead of depending only on third-party directory listings.

What patients can see

The TONVUX wait time widget can be configured to show the information your clinic wants to make public.

Works with common clinic websites

TONVUX can be added to common website platforms used by clinics. Your clinic does not need to rebuild its entire website to start showing live clinic status information.

WordPressAdd live clinic status without rebuilding the entire website.
WixAdd live clinic status without rebuilding the entire website.
SquarespaceAdd live clinic status without rebuilding the entire website.
Custom websitesAdd live clinic status without rebuilding the entire website.

Privacy-conscious communication

TONVUX is designed to show clinic-level operational information, not patient medical details. The wait time widget can display clinic status without showing patient names, health card numbers, diagnoses, treatment details, appointment notes, or EMR records.

Location support

For single-location and multi-location clinics

Single-location clinics can keep patients updated about one clinic’s current status. Multi-location clinics can show location-specific availability, helping patients understand which clinic is open, accepting walk-ins, or experiencing a shorter wait.

Kiosk pairing

Pair the widget with TONVUX Kiosk

The website widget helps patients before they arrive. TONVUX Kiosk helps patients after they arrive by showing wait times, announcements, and status updates on a waiting-room display.

Compliance notes for this page

Use “estimated wait time” rather than language that implies a fixed or promised wait. Avoid claiming the widget will reduce calls, reduce wait times, improve medical outcomes, or promise patient satisfaction unless you later have approved evidence. Keep privacy wording focused on what the widget does not need to display publicly, rather than making broad legal compliance promises.
