230 Dermatologist wait times: A simulated phone call study

َA Multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm to solving flexible no-wait flowshop scheduling problems with transportation times

This paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. This paper presen...

Waiting for a phone call.

by the sum of the probabilities of true negatives and false positives [TN/(TN+FN)]. To return to Dr. Starke's concern, a negative result of a test on a particular member of a low-prevalence population inspires greater confidence than a negative result on the very same test in a member of a high-prevalence population. That is, as the prevalence of disease increases, a negative test is increasing...

Advertising Emergency Department Wait Times

Advertising emergency department (ED) wait times has become a common practice in the United States. Proponents of this practice state that it is a powerful marketing strategy that can help steer patients to the ED. Opponents worry about the risk to the public health that arises from a patient with an emergent condition self-triaging to a further hospital, problems with inaccuracy and lack of st...
