A computer simulation approach to reduce appointment lead-time in outpatient perinatology departments: a case study in a maternal-child hospital

A significant problem in outpatient perinatology departments is the long waiting time for pregnant women to receive an appointment. In this respect, appointment delays are related to patient dissatisfaction, no shows and sudden infant death syndrome. This paper aims to model and evaluate improvement...

description A significant problem in outpatient perinatology departments is the long waiting time for pregnant women to receive an appointment. In this respect, appointment delays are related to patient dissatisfaction, no shows and sudden infant death syndrome. This paper aims to model and evaluate improvement proposals to outpatient care delivery by applying computer simulation approaches. First, suitable data is collected and analyzed. Then, a discrete-event simulation (DES) model is created and validated to determine whether it is statistically equivalent to the current system. Afterward, the average appointment lead-time is calculated and studied. Finally, improvement proposals are designed and pretested by simulation modelling and statistical comparison tests. A case study of an outpatient perinatology department from a maternal-child is shown to validate the effectiveness of DES to fully understand and manage healthcare systems. The results evidenced that changes to care delivery can be effectively assessed and appointment lead-times may be significantly reduced based on the proposed framework within this paper.

En este sentido, los retrasos en las citas están relacionados con la insatisfacción del paciente, la ausencia de asistencia y el síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante. Este documento tiene como objetivo modelar y evaluar propuestas de mejora para la prestación de atención ambulatoria mediante la aplicación de enfoques de simulación por computadora. En primer lugar, se recogen y analizan los datos adecuados. Luego, se crea un modelo de simulación de eventos discretos (DES) y se valida para determinar si es estadísticamente equivalente al sistema actual. Posteriormente, se calcula y estudia el tiempo promedio de entrega de la cita. Finalmente, las propuestas de mejora se diseñan y prueban mediante modelos de simulación y pruebas de comparación estadística. Se muestra un estudio de caso de un departamento de perinatología ambulatoria de una madre-hijo para validar la efectividad del DES para comprender y administrar completamente los sistemas de salud. Los resultados evidenciaron que los cambios en la prestación de la atención pueden evaluarse eficazmente y los plazos de entrega de las citas pueden reducirse significativamente en función del marco propuesto en este documento.Ortiz Barrios, M.-086d30c0-dad9-49bf-bd17-4e368a624cfb-600Jiménez Delgado, G.-78f5ef78-4f12-48c3-830e-e4e1f037b070-600De Ávila Villalobos, J.-e55bcb42-c0d8-4ff1-a622-59050c4b946a-600engUniversidad De La Costa10.1007/978-3-319-69182-4_4Jameson, J.L., Longo, D.L.: Precision medicine-personalized, problematic, and promising.
