Physician and Patient Behavior Under Different Scheduling Systems in a Hospital Outpatient Department (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Physician and Patient Behavior Under Different Scheduling Systems in a Hospital Outpatient Department
Most research in the field of ambulatory patient scheduling has de fined outpatient appointment systems along a patient arrival spacing dimension. Along this dimension, scheduling methods have been described which range from pure block systems (in which all patients are asked to arrive before the start of the clinic) to individual appointment time systems (in which patients are given appointments at intervals which approximate average physician service time). The results of these sys tems, both actual and hypothetical, have been probed in depth by re searchers. Four factors - the type of scheduling system utilized, the amount of physician lateness, the amount of patient lateness, and the patient no-show rate - have been shown to strongly affect patient waiting time.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a multi-dimensional look at how scheduling systems can help reduce patient waiting times in busy hospital outpatient clinics. The author's research has demonstrated that when patients are given more specific appointment times and assigned to particular physicians, they are more likely to arrive on time and keep appointments. Physicians, in turn, respond by being more punctual, leading to decreased patient waiting times. The book also explores the broader implications of these findings, suggesting that systems that foster individual patient care can improve overall efficiency and patient satisfaction. By providing a framework for understanding the key factors that affect patient waiting time, this book offers valuable insights for healthcare providers seeking to optimize their scheduling systems and deliver better care.
