The waiting time project aims to improve patient satisfaction by addressing long wait periods at the hospital through various initiatives. Key strategies include enhancing doctor commitment, developing a reservation system, informing patients about examination timelines, and providing amenities such as a kids' corner and educational materials. The project outlines specific actions and deadlines for implementation across several departments to create a more positive experience for patients.

Project
Made by:
Community Marketing Team

2. Project
Objectives
 Patients who have to wait for long
periods of time are usually
not very happy with the hospital and it
can set a bad tone for the overall visit.
 Patients need to know we are respecting
their waiting, so there are some ways to
lessen the stress and show that we are
considerate of our patient’s time.

3. In this project we will work on two
pillars:
Reducing
waiting time
Consuming
