BACKGROUND Waiting time is an important indicator of patient satisfaction and the quality of care. The aim of this study is to determine the waiting time in physician offices in Tehran, Iran.   METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. The target population of this study consisted of specialist and subspecialist offices in Tehran. We used a census sampling method to study the population. Data...

In operating system is an important issue, Allocates processor time to processes, to be fair. We presented in This paper proposed methods to reduce Average waiting time, average response time, Switch Counts process, through the design of a time sharing non-exclusive scheduling algorithm based on the round Robin and determined accurate time quantum . Among the proposed approaches, weight harmoni...

Background: Waiting time in emergency department is a key indicator in measuring the quality of hospital services and has a significant impact on patient satisfaction The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the patients' waiting time in hospital emergency departments in Iran.    Methods: Data were collected from databases of Web of Science, E...

Background: Between 2000 and 2008 the Department of Health (DH) introduced progressively tighter maximum waiting times targets in the English NHS. Health providers responded to these by reducing the waiting times for patients who used to wait substantially longer and increasing the waiting times for patients who used to wait the shortest period of time. However, there is little understanding wh...

Using a weak migration and weak mutation approximation, I study the average waiting time to and the average duration of parapatric speciation. The description of reproductive isolation used is based on the classical Dobzhansky model and its recently proposed multilocus generalizations. The dynamics of parapatric speciation is modeled as a biased random walk with absorption performed by the aver...
