Use of six sigma methodology to reduce appointment lead-time in obstetrics outpatient department
(Universidad de la Costa, 2016-08-18)
This paper focuses on the issue of longer appointment lead-time in the obstetrics outpatient department of a maternal-child hospital in Colombia. Because of extended appointment lead-time, women with high-risk pregnancy ...
Applying computer simulation modelling to minimizing appointment lead-time in elderly outpatient clinics: a case study
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 2017)
Appointment lead-time is a pivotal parameter in elderly outpatient clinics. In this regard, delayed medical care may represent complications in the elderly population and the development of more severe diseases. However, ...
Discrete-event simulation to reduce waiting time in accident and emergency departments: a case study in a district general clinic
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 2017)
Waiting time is a crucial performance metric in A&E departments. In this regard, longer waiting times are related to low patient satisfaction, high mortality rates and more severe physical health complications. To analyze ...
