This SpringerBrief specifically focuses on outpatient clinics and diagnostic facilities. It begins by introducing the topic from a medical perspective, discussing the kinds of clinics and facilities that are out there, while exploring the appointment systems they use and the problems they face. Next, the mathematical aspects of appointment planning are examined, including Markov decision modelling, queueing theory, etc. Subsequently the book addresses implementation issues that may arise, whether they be technical, medical or cultural. Finally Appointment Planning in Outpatient Clinics and Diagnostic Facilities provides an outlook on the appointment systems of the future and what they will require as a consequence of current and future developments in the medical sector.SpringerBriefs in Health Care Management and Economics,2193-1704Health care managementHealth services administrationOperations researchDecision makingPractice of medicineHealth Care Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527030Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Practice and Hospital Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H68000Health care management.Health services administration.Operations research.Decision making.Practice of medicine.Health Care Management.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Practice and Hospital Management.610.68Zonderland Maartje Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059984MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298548103321Appointment Planning in Outpatient Clinics and Diagnostic Facilities2510045UNINA
