Asymptotically Optimal Appointment Schedules

Mathematics of Operations Research, 2019
We consider the problem of scheduling appointments for a finite customer population to a service facility with customer no-shows to minimize the sum of customer waiting time and server overtime costs. Because appointments need to be scheduled ahead of time, we refer to this problem as an optimization problem rather than a dynamic control one. We study

Practical Principles in Appointment Scheduling

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 2015
Appointment schedules aim at achieving a proper balance between the conflicting interests of the service provider and her clients: a primary objective of the service provider is to fully utilize her available time, whereas clients want to avoid excessive waiting times.

Appointment Scheduling on Computer

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1997
The program is well-written, intuitive, and easy to use once initial data, such as the available appointment slots, has been entered. While the effort may not seem worthwhile initially, the ability to access an office appointment book from several locations simultaneously and the reporting capabilities of the software make MEDSched a useful addition to

Appointment Scheduling by Computer

1987
In many practices—especially multi-group and hospital-based practices with a high clerical turnover-patient scheduling can be a real problem. One physician is overbooked; another is underbooked. The patient asks for a return appointment and is scheduled for a new physician, unfamiliar with the case. Patients are often given appointments for times their

The Medical Appointment Scheduler

2004
In order to enhance our understanding of how to best improve patient care, it was necessary to initially identify key questions that patients ask mostfrequently by recording actual calls made by home hemodialysis patients to a dialysis clinic over a threemonth period.

Data-driven appointment scheduling

Proceedings of the 12th EAI International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools, 2019
We consider the problem of evaluating and constructing appointment schedules for patients in a health-care facility where a single physician treats patients in consecutive order, as is common for general practitioners, clinics and for outpatients in hospitals.

Advance Patient Appointment Scheduling

2017
This chapter describes the use of the linear programming approach to approximate dynamic programming as a means of solving advance patient appointment scheduling problems, which are problems typically intractable using standard solution techniques. Starting from the linear programming approach to discounted infinite-horizon Markov decision processes ...
