This study addresses the problem of scheduling magnetic resonance imaging examinations
to reduce indirect waiting time—that is, the time that elapses between the patient's call for an …

Abstract Demand for Computer Tomography (CT) is growing year on year and the
population of Ireland is increasingly aging and ailing. Anecdotally, radiology staff reported …

The wait times for patients from their appointments to receiving magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) are usually long. To reduce this wait time, the present study proposed that service time …

Health care systems in Canada provide benefits to patients but have issues with costs and
wait lists. Long wait lists negatively affect patients' welfares. This in turn can increase costs …

Service delay has remained a persistent problem in the radiology departments of most

Introduction: Demand for computed tomography (CT) services is increasing. This empirical
work in a CT setting, examines how qualitative methods were used to identify staff …

It has been almost 20 years since the Institute of Medicine released the seminal report titled,
Crossing the Quality Chasm. In it, the IoM identified six domains of care quality (safe, timely …

In this paper, we model the statistical properties of imaging exam durations using parametric
probability distributions such as the Gaussian, Gamma, Weibull, lognormal, and log-logistic …

In line with an increase in the incidence of chronic disease and an aging demographic,
demand for radiology services is growing year on year. Radiology staff combine patient care …

The advent of Industry 4.0 has revolutionized decision-making processes in production
systems by leveraging real-time data provided by advanced information technologies. In …
