Appointment Scheduling Frameworks

Healthcare just like any other type of service industry is reliant on possessing satisfied clientele. Scheduling practices help to manage the patient flow by establishing certain guidelines regarding how late a patient can arrive, and still be seen without disrupting the patient flow

Within the case, The Carbondale Clinic, it is apparent that a scheduling problem exists which has then resulted in patients being unsatisfied with the amount of time they must wait to be seen for his or her scheduled appointment with the physician. It is also evident that physicians prefer to have a full schedule without taking into consideration the possibility of emergencies that may arise throughout the day that will contribute to patients having to wait even longer. It is pertinent that the manager sits down with the staff to determine what is the most logical solution to help resolve the scheduling problem, taking into consideration what the physicians want along with ensuring patient satisfaction.

Planning is the most critical part of the organization’s information management process and requires the collective involvement of all employees of the hospital. Therefore, staff and licensed independent practitioners, selected by the hospital, should participate in the assessment, selection, integration, and use of information management systems for the delivery of care, treatment, and services.

When k = 2, we can solve the given problem with a polynomial time brute-force algorithm. For every set of n2 processes, we loop over m resources to determine if there are any resources in common between them. If they don’t, there are no sets of k = 2 processes with such resources. If they do, then there is a set of k = 2 processes with such resources.

Cost effective services ensures that low income households have easy access to good medical health (Bowling, 2013). Patient focus care is a major priority as it has worked well in the past for the hospital. The hospital is located in an urban center that is quite busy. This ensures easy accessibility. The hospital has a very hard working and friendly staff that alternate effectively to ensure that the hospital is functioning 24/7. This ensures that anyone can access medical care any time. Electronic Health care ensures easy tracking of patient health data. A strong informal communication channel among hospital department ensures easy flow of communication. Such conditions have led to a proactive environment with good and elaborate management style (Kerr & Hiltz, 2013). Considerable strengths are likely to make the Hospital the most preferred and sought medical care institution in the

A significant, impactful trend on healthcare organizations (HCOs) is the implementation of technology-based information systems (IS). The systems consist of hardware and software used in gathering and processing data that supports the provision of patient care. There are administrative systems, which have been in place for decades and their usefulness are highly recognized. They track services rendered, billing processes used for third party payers and patients, as well as payroll for employees. Administrative systems are essential for the financial component of a business. More recently, the importance of clinical information systems has moved into the spotlight. They are intended to

As the political race for the Whitehouse evolves, so do the issues influencing society. There is much to be desired of the political system. Healthcare is a struggling environment for consumers. The current system lacks the ability to provide care efficiently and is burdening to the consumer. Candidates understand that any significant issue must be solved in iterations, one must apply this principle to healthcare. A system that accomplishes one task is better than one which attempts to account for everything wrong. One area that can be addressed is appointment scheduling. Various appointment systems have been studied thoroughly to address this issue. The goal of this material is to devise a system that would adequately use this information to create a system as it would pertain to a local clinic with one working physician as well as a receptionist.

In 1986, IHC begin to implement a new strategy for managing healthcare. This new clinical integration focused on improving patient care while saving money. This idea was implemented by changing the organizational structure of certain clinics and providing them with helpful tools. The Traditional administrative management was upgraded to a system that involved the storage of all patients’ data to create helpful tools. The tools that were implemented created protocols that helped medical providers determine the best method of intervention while increasing efficiency.

In the healthcare industry, services provided by the healthcare staff are converted mainly by the inputs such as: Doctors, nurses, hospitals, medical supplies, equipment and laboratories. The processing involved in the healthcare industry includes: examination, surgery, monitoring, medication, and therapy. The output of the mentioned process would of course be healthy patients (Operations Management, 2004, p.6). Healthcare workers have a higher degree of customer contacts, for the customers are our patients that we provide comprehensive care to. Services, such as providing healthcare have a variable amount of inputs for a specific case. For instance, a critical care patient may need several nurses that need to attend to all of the needs for that patients, whereas, a telemetry patient may only need one nurse to provide care for. The measurement of productivity in healthcare services is also more difficult than the manufacturing of goods. In healthcare, it is rather difficult to measure the productivity of healthcare providers because healthcare is not quantitative. Less inventory is needed on hand in providing services (Operations Management, 2004, p.6 & 7). The scope of operations management in healthcare requires several different activities performed. Forecasting in healthcare may include ordering sufficient amounts of flu vaccines half a year ahead of time

In order to eliminate the inefficiencies witnessed in many public and private hospitals that serve a number of patients, an integrated approach to handling the daily workload is necessary. There is need for all departments within the hospital to work closely together in ensuring more effective and efficient service deliveries. In this paper, a planned change is going to be carried out involving designing a new system that incorporates all the departments within the hospital. This includes the surgery department, pediatrics department, dentistry department, nursing department, pharmacy departments, laboratory and testing department, X-ray and Physiotherapy departments, Equipment maintenance and Engineering department, Information Technology

As a growing and diversifying department, it is necessary from time to time for us to review our programs, our policies, and our staffing requirements. Please look over these expectations and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
