Synopsis

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.
