Waiting times: monitoring the total postreferral wait [PDF]
BMJ, 1994 To determine whether the period spent on the true inpatient waiting list is a valid indication of the total time that patients have to wait for an operation; and to assess the feasibility of monitoring the total "postreferral waiting time" by using existing computerised information systems.Three randomly selected Scottish hospitals.Waiting list ...

Solar Flare Occurrence Rate and Waiting Time Statistics
, 2012 We use Renewal Theory for the estimation and interpretation of the flare rate from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) soft X-ray flare catalogue. It is found, that in addition to the flare rate variability with the solar cycles,

Log-Normal Waiting Time Widths Characterize Dynamics
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsMany astronomical phenomena, including Fast Radio Bursts and Soft Gamma Repeaters, consist of brief distinct aperiodic events. The intervals between these events vary randomly, but there are periods of greater activity, with shorter mean intervals, and ...

Waiting times of entangled electrons in normal-superconducting junctions [PDF]
, 2015 We consider a normal-superconducting junction in order to investigate the effect of new physical ingredients on waiting times. First, we study the interplay between Andreev and specular scattering at the interface on the distribution of waiting times of ...

Waiting Time Distribution of Supra-arcade Downflows
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSupra-arcade downflows (SADs) are dark, sunward-moving structures above the arcade of flare loops. Naturally, they are considered to be associated with outflows resulting from magnetic reconnection at the vertical current sheet beneath the eruptive ...

Waiting Time as an Indicator for Health Services Under Strain: A Narrative Review
Inquiry: The Journal of Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing, 2020 As pressure increases on public health systems globally, a potential consequence is that this is transferred to patients in the form of longer waiting times to receive care.

The Origin of the Solar Flare Waiting-Time Distribution
, 2000 It was recently pointed out that the distribution of times between solar flares (the flare waiting-time distribution) follows a power law, for long waiting times.

Managing Waiting Times to Predict No-shows and Cancelations at a Children’s Hospital [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: Since long waits in hospitals have been found to be related to high rates of no-shows and cancelations, managing waiting times should be considered as an important tool that hospitals can use to reduce missed appointments.
