Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
Loading screens are unavoidable in modern software applications, and providing graphical user feedback during wait times is a well-established way to increase perceived performance. Previous research has indicated that perceived performance is essential to the success of an application, and progress bars have been specifically shown to decrease ...

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.

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

Waiting Times and Waiting Lists
This comprehensive collection brings together more than 50 contributions from some of the most influential researchers in health economics. It authoritatively covers theoretical and empirical issues in health economics, with a balanced range of material on equity and efficiency in health care systems, health technology assessment and issues of concern ...Luigi Siciliani, Tor Iversen

This chapter describes the standard process for performing discrete event simulations to estimate expected waiting times. In doing so, it describes event-based “controllers” that generate chronologies differentiating discrete event simulation from other types of statistical simulations.
