As any healthcare professional (or patient) can attest: disorganized patient flows and long waiting periods impede caregiver productivity, delay the rate at which patients can receive care, and result in poor utilization of facilities and equipment.

In this online class, Dr. Charles Noon, Professor in the Department of Business Analytics and Statistics at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, will introduce you to a practical approach to optimizing patient flows by applying Queuing Theory.

By attending, you will:

  • Understand the main concepts that govern patient flow
  • Identify the countermeasures that work and the ones that don’t
