C INIRODUCTIO1L

The admirnstration of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and

the University of Michigan Hospitals’ Ambulatory Care Services decided to

perform a major time study to assess room utHization and patient wait

time within various clinics. This report will present the actions taken, the

findings, and recommendations, as determined by the project team, in order

to improve the effectiveness of the outpatient clinics. A methodology to

determine the factors resulting in wait times was developed and

implemented based on the following procedures: patient flow process,

observance of the current system, and staff interviews.

BACKGROUND/CURRENT SITUATION

The purpose of this project was to examine patient wait times in the

OB/GYN outpatient clinics. Further emphasis was placed upon determing

whether the problem of wait times was inherently related to the time

spent in waiting rooms, examining rooms, or to other variable factors in

the system which have been identified through the analysis.

OBJECTIVES

C

The objectives of this project were to prepare a methodology in order to

collect information from both obstetrics patients and gynecology patients

as to their opinions on the clinics as a whole. Further emphasis was

focused on developing and conducting a time study and system analysis into

the overall patient process in order to improve the efficiency of the

operations. From the findings, the team determined the average wait times

in both the waiting room and examining room by analyzing various factors.

C Information concerning current wait times was to be gathered through

observations, interviews and the usage of a data collection form with an

emphasis on patient feedback. The data sheets were designed to incorporate

various areas in order to further identify those patients who are subjected

to variable wait times. The goals of this project were to discover factors

which would: (1) be robust of variable factors that might affect the

system, (2) determine if and how wait times affect patient return visits,

(3) determine what is considered by the patients to be an acceptable wait

time, and (4) determine a method in which to maximize the measure of

efficiency in the system.

AFFECTED DEPARTMENT

The key issue in this project was to determine the individual and

overall problems affecting the system and the most effective manner in

which to resolve these problems. Environmental factors affecting this

project which could not be altered concerned the presence of different

physicians on varying days and shifts. These variables can not be “fixed”

because each provider operates differently and determines the number of

patients he will see on any given day. Another enviornmental problem

which was not within our control is the time that patients are required to

spend in the Mott/Holden/Women Hospital financial counseling department.

SCOPE OF PROJECT

The scope of this project entailed the documentation of patient

appointment times, time spent in the waiting room, and the time spent in

the examining room. A methodology of patient feedback and data supplied

in the survey and scheduling procedures was examined. During the course

of the project, the functioning of the clerical staff and their impact on the

system was evaluated as a possible factor affecting the overall process.

AEPRQAHE

The examination of wait time problems in the OB/GYN clinics was

implemented in three key phases. The first phase involved observing the

general process of the system (both general and detailed flowcharts can be

found in the appendix). The second phase conducted was to identify

problems through data analysis (the data form used can be found in

appendix). The final phase completed consisted of recommending

solutions/alternatives that could enhance clinical operations (a detailed

description of the methodology utilized is located in the appendix). The

approaches used in this project were a time study and system analysis

techniques. Those involved in this project included: the OB/GYN staff and

the Management Systems staff.

METHODOLOGY

A time study and system analysis was done during the time period of

January,1987 thru April, 1987 in the OB/GYN outpatient areas. The data

collection lasted two weeks; from March 23,1987 to April 3,1987. A total

of 165 surveys were evaluated. A decision was made to schedule the study

in both clinics during a “ ical” two-week period. This implies that the

study was conducted with tr usual number of providers and during a period

when there were no holidays.

ln order to observe the current clinical process, the project team took

tours of the designated areas. Both detailed and general flowcharts of the

Datent flow were evaluated To onent the clirucal staff, the project team

explained the purpose of the study, described the data collection

procedures, and enlisted their support in distributing the surveys. The

clinical personnel was also interviewed in order to determine their

feedback on the operations of the clinics.

The data forms were given to the patient directly. This methodology

was employed in order to determine the feasibility of conducting a study

based entirely on information provided by patients. The patients were

given the form upon check-in, asked to complete the questions during their

visits, and requsted to return the surveys upon time of check-out. The goal

of the collection form was to make the data collection form

“user-friendly,” to relieve the added burden of the staff if they had to aid

the patient in completing the form, and finally, to communicate directly

with the patient.

C. The data was analyzed according to different procedures as deemed

significant by the project team. There were nine different categories

evaluated based on information obtained from the survey. These categories

included: appointment time, day of the week, providers, patient feedback

on acceptable wait time limits in both the exam room and wait room, time

spent in the waiting room and examining room, time to park the car, and

inquiry as to phone registration. At the conclusion of the study, the data

collected was coded and inputed into a MacIntosh Plus computer using

Cricket Graph software. After the the desired factors were categorized,

the following methods were utilized in order to analyze the data: averages,

percentages, and variances and finally, a comparison between the OB/GYN

clinics was evaluated.

FINDINGS

One of the primary goals of this study was to determine the degree to

which patients were satisfied with the services and wait times that were

being experienced in the two clinics in the Department of Obstetrics and

Gynocology. The data revealed that in both the OB and GYN clinics, as

expected, that patient satisfaction and the amount of time the patient

spent waiting were inversely proportional; i.e. the longer the patients spent

waiting to be seen by their providers, the more dissatified they became

with the wait times.

It was felt that issuance of a completely objective survey might

neglect the provision of very important feedback from the patients in the

OB and GYN clinics. To assist in the collection of subjective data, a

comment section was provided on the survey. Also, while collecting data,

the members of the project team were able to converse with several

C patients. Through the comments recorded on data forms and the one-to-one

correspondences with patients, additional information was obtained

suggesting that while many patients are not satisfied with being forced to

wait long periods of time, they are understanding as to the personal

attention that the providers are giving to each patient.

Appointment times were observed and analyzed in order to ascertain

whether there were excessive peak times during the course of the work

day, and if so, to determine when these busy times occurred in both the OB

and GYN clinics. The data revealing that wait times were at a maximur

between 10-11 A.M. and between 3-4 P.M. Appointments scheduled between

1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon experienced average wait times of only ten

to fifteen minutes.

As in the breakdown of the appointment times, a peak time was

determined for the five days (Monday thrdugh Friday) during which

outpatient services are administered in these clinics. It was established,

through data collected, that Monday has the most excessive times and

Friday seems to present minimal wait times.

The GYN clinic presently registers some of its patients by telephone.

The patients who indicated that they registered by phone, spent an average

of ten fewer minutes in the wait room as compared to the patients who had

not registered over the telephone.

Because the study was only conduàted during a two-week period,

generalizations had to be made from the findings because of the limitations

of patients during this time period. Furthermore, sources of error resulted

because many patients were not wearing watches, and also because

clerical functions were not analyzed in detail. The team limited the

( implications of the results to quantitative aspects of the outpatient

operations. It is further probable that inefficiencies and delays in this

portion of the room wait times will require further evaluation.

RECOMMENDED .ALIERNATIVESIHYPOTHESIS’

The patient wait times in the waiting room and the examination room

utilization study indicated that there is a feasiable and workable technique

for collecting and evaluating data regarding the patient process. Of a total

of 175 data collection rms, ten were discarded due to incompleteness.

Our findings suggest mat the following recommendations be implemented

for the variable wait times present in both clinics:

(1). An overall phone registration policy. Thisshould minimize the inconvenience of patients havingto visit the clinic for just this purpose. This shouldminimize the workload of the staff by having to fiWout the history form with the patient. Also, those.patients who were reached by telephone should alsohave reminder appointment cards mailed to them.

(2) If the above is not implemented, an alternativesolution is to have the patient come in earlier on thescheduled appointment day and complete the historyform. Furthermore, the patient if able should fill outtheir own forms so that the staff workload can befocused on other matters.

(3) Quality Circle Techniques (semi-regularly) forthe staff. This offers an opportunity for smallinterdisciplinary groups (receptionists, nurses,providers, and others) to suggest improvementsthrough discussions of current operational problemsand to prioritize action.

(4) Changes in resources to schedule patientappointments. The implementation of computer aidedprocedures for patients and doctors. This processwill make it easier to read and revise.

(5) Staffing workloads revised through severaltechniques. Possible revisions include:

(a) Staggered shift times in order to maximizethe number of staff during peak hours.Accomplished through flex-time andnon-standard length shifts.

(b) Float pools developed in ambulatory care.(c) Part-time and temporary staff which could

be after hours to do needed tasks.(d) Interdepartmental workloads between the

OB/GYN clinics. Cross train staff formaximum efficiency.

(6) Don’t over schedule. Patients feel rushed andexcessive wait times occur.

(7) Use the parking information supplied as abasis. There is a need for a parking simulation.

(8) Detailed analysis of the actual time spentwith provider. An evaluation into the optimumtargeted values that are acceptable.

(9) Further analysis in order to calculate roomutilization information through check-in timeversus wait times.

(10) Evaluation into the causes of variable waittimes should be given further attention into thefollowing areas:

(a) clinical flow(b) staffing(c) other factors to improve room utilization.

(11) Compare wait room and exam room times at the• University of Michigan clinics to those of other

hospitals to compare statistics.

CONCLUSIONS/EXPECTED IMPACT

Through the identification of the factors effecting wait times in the

outpatient areas, there is the potential to decrease these wait times in

order to produce a better patient flow and improved service. The

operational changes which may result will be able to provide for an overall

improved service. These changes wh impact the system are registration

and scheduling procedures. There is the possibility of increasing the

revenue with the addition of more patients and also by retaining patients

who may not have returned because of dissatisfication with excessive

wait times. Through detailed analysis by the OB/GYN staff potential cost

( effectiveness benefits can be ascertained by impiementing the optimum

levels discovered in the system which could influence and/or eliminate

the causes of wait times.
