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

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 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 ...
