Patient Flow Analysis in General Hospitals: How Clinical Disciplines Affect Outpatient Wait Times

Background: Overcrowding is an important problem for outpatient services in healthcare facilities. Patient flow analysis (PFA) is a useful method for identifying inefficiencies in and facilitating patient flow. Objective: PFA was used to estimate patient wait time and determine how different clinical disciplines impact wait times in the studied hospital.<...

Predicting the Efficiency of Decision-Making Unit by Using Piecewise Polynomial Extrapolation in Different Times

In this article, we will estimate efficiency amountof decision-making unit by offering the continuous piecewise polynomialextrapolation and interpolation by CCR model input-oriented on the assumptionthat it is constant returns to scale in different times. And finally, we willestimate efficiency amount of decision-making unit indifferent times byoffering an example.

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...
