Establishment of reduce wait times as a culture in the hospital involves implementation of staffing policies among others that would reduce the wait time. Automated systems can be used to reduce time spent in the registration process. The disadvantage of this strategy is that it is costly and requires high initial capital to implement. Incorporation of preferences of the patients requires the health administrators to determine the issues that affect the patients hence increased waiting time. A system can be established to enable the cardiac care patients make appointments when faced with issues that are less critical in order to reduce wait time. However, this strategy will require the community hospital to incur additional costs during the registration process. Revamping the process of front-line scheduling enables the personnel of the community hospital to adhere to demand and supply when scheduling treatment procedures which are not life threatening. This will reduce the number of emergency cases. The negative force of this strategy is that it will make most patients to prefer hospitals which do not revamp its front-line schedules (Sullivan,

The current average utilization rate of the call centre is 30.48% (see appendix XXX). The average arrival rate, rate at which the patients call, is lower than the average service rate, rate at which the patients are serviced. However, both the arrival time and the service time contain moderate variability (see appendix XXX), negatively impacting the flow time during peak hours. There are two arrival rate variability issues: variability amongst the different days the calls are received and variability amongst the hours the calls are received. The problem is bigger than Laura anticipated. As per the ‘Appendix 5’ of the case, the average daily abandoned calls are 338 and not 35. This does not include the patients receiving a busy signal, therefore becoming lost throughputs. Thus given the low utilization rate it is clear that the problem the call centre faces is in managing variability and not capacity.
