Motivation
• The decision makers of the outpatient orthopaedic
clinic are concerned by the importance of reducing
patient waiting times while keeping a high proportion
of occupied time for medical staff. Indeed, they are
receiving many complaints about long patient waiting
times.
Intelligent Database Systems Lab
Objectives
• The objective of our research consists in studying the
relationships and interactions between patient flows,
resource capacity (number of consulting rooms and
number of nurses) and appointment scheduling rules
in order to improve an outpatient orthopaedic clinic
performance.
