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 ...

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.

Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2007
Many problems in industrial engineering entail consideration of the waiting time, see [1-30]. In this note, some exact expressions are derived for the probability density function of the waiting time. A computer program and tabulations of the associated percentage points are also provided.

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

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.

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.
