reducing outpatient waiting time: a simulation modeling approach
conclusions using the simulation as a decision making tool helps us to decide how we can reduce outpatient's waiting time. comparison of outputs of this scenario and the based- case scenario in simulation model shows that combining physician's work time changing with patient's admission time changing (scenario 9) would reduce patient waiting time about 73.09%. due to dynamic and complex nature ...
متن کاملReducing Outpatient Waiting Time: A Simulation Modeling Approach
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to provide a model for reducing outpatient waiting time by using simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A simulation model was constructed by using the data of arrival time, service time and flow of 357 patients referred to orthopedic clinic of a general teaching hospital in Tehran. The simulation model was validated before constructing different scenario...
متن کاملReducing Patient Waiting Time in Outpatient Department Using Lean Six Sigma Methodology
This article addresses the issue of longer patient waiting time in the outpatient department (OPD) of a super specialty hospital attached to a manufacturing company in India. Due to longer waiting times at OPD, employees need to be away from the workplace for a longer duration. This problem was addressed through the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology. The process, starting from registration of a ...
متن کاملReducing waiting time and raising outpatient satisfaction in a Chinese public tertiary general hospital-an interrupted time series study
BACKGROUND It is globally agreed that a well-designed health system deliver timely and convenient access to health services for all patients. Many interventions aiming to reduce waiting times have been implemented in Chinese public tertiary hospitals to improve patients' satisfaction. However, few were well-documented, and the effects were rarely measured with robust methods. METHODS We condu...
متن کاملReducing Simulation Time
We present a survey of some recent techniques that allow a significant reduction in simulation time, namely statistical simulation, sampled simulation or reduced input benchmarks. We also note that these techniques are not useful in analysing memory systems. Thus, we provide a study of analytical memory models that have been used to model cache performance.
