An Approximation for the Moments of Waiting Times
Operations Research, 1969Methods are available for computing properties of the waiting time associated with a variety of single-server queuing models in the equilibrium state. Since these calculations are more difficult in the time-dependent case, this paper develops an approximation procedure applicable to a wide class of single-server queues.

Emergency Nurse, 2012
WITH REFERENCE to the article 'The struggle to control waiting times', on page 8 of April's Emergency Nurse, waits at emergency departments (EDs) could be reduced if patients who attend them had more information about local minor injuries units (MIUs).

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 1985
In the first part of this paper, by means of a Markov chain method similar to that used by the author, ibid. 61, 119-120 (1981; Zbl 0476.60064), we obtain information about the waiting time for a particular sequence in sampling with replacement. Afterwards, it is shown how the results in the quoted paper can be extended to a situation more general than

Healthcare Management Forum, 2017
A significant barrier to accessing healthcare in Canada is long waiting lists, which can be linked to the way that Medicare was structured. After significant pressure, provincial governments began to address wait times. An example of a successful strategy to reduce wait times for elective surgery is the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative, which saw wait ...

Childhood, 2010
This article analyses the relationship between time and subjectification, focusing on the temporal structures created within Danish asylum centres and politics, and on children’s experiences of and reactions to open-ended waiting. Such waiting leads to existential boredom which manifests in the children as restlessness, fatigue and despair. The article

Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication, 2013
One of the challenges of organizations providing services to the public is the effective resource allocation. Many service providers such as hospitals, city halls or department of motor vehicles suffer from a service demand, which is unevenly distributed over the day. In this work, we evaluate techniques for predicting the service demand.

Waiting Lines and Waiting Times
2017This chapter seeks to determine if can we reduce the time it takes to deliver a public health or healthcare service, such as the long waiting times in emergency departments, long waiting lists for under-supported services such as drug rehabilitation, and vast periods of uncertainty for scarce commodities such as organ transplants.
