Appointment scheduling of oncology outpatients

2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2011
This paper addresses the problem of appointment scheduling of patients of an oncology outpatient unit. Each patient is first seen by his oncologist, and then the drug is prepared and injected to the patient. Two major resources including oncologists for consultation and beds for injection are considered. Idle times of oncologists are not allowed.

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.

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

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.

Appointment Scheduling with Limited Distributional Information

Management Science, 2013
In this paper, we develop distribution-free models that solve the appointment sequencing and scheduling problem by assuming only moments information of job durations. We show that our min–max appointment scheduling models, which minimize the worst-case expected waiting and overtime costs out of all probability distributions with the given marginal ...

Heuristics to solve appointment scheduling in chemotherapy

The 2015 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF), 2015
This paper studies meta-heuristic methods in solving an appointment-scheduling problem in a hospital in Canada. Our paper proposes a two-step algorithm: The first step creates an initial solution with a Greedy Algorithm considering many strategies. The second step consists in choosing the best strategy and improving it with Tabu Search.

Use of mobile appointment scheduling devices

CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2004
One hundred thirty-eight subjects participated in a study on mobile appointment scheduling. Subjects completed a questionnaire on their primary method of managing appointments when away from their desks. Immediately afterwards, subjects completed a session of scheduling four appointments with the interviewer.

Modelling and optimization of outpatient appointment scheduling

RAIRO - Operations Research, 2015
Summary: We consider the problem of appointment scheduling for outpatient departments in health care systems. The objective is to design an appointment system that minimizes the average waiting time per patient, while at the same time ensuring the effective use of resources, by maximizing doctor utilization and minimizing the average number of patients
