Why is a patient's card pulsing yellow, orange or red?

Updated October 29, 2026 · VisitPing 3.3.2

The pulse shows how late the patient is, so nobody has to read the clock. The later they are, the faster and redder the card pulses.

What each look means

CardWhat it means
Noah GrayOn time. A calm card.
Noah Gray1 minute late. A slow yellow pulse.
Noah Gray5 minutes late. A faster orange pulse.
Noah Gray10 minutes late. A fast red pulse.
Noah Gray15 minutes or more. The whole card flashes. Act on this one first.

Wait time counts from the appointment time, or from when they arrived if they came in late.

Tip

The same pulse is on every screen (op tablets, the Front desk and the doctor screen), so whoever looks first can act.
