摘要

Background: Patient unpunctuality negatively affects quality care. We found that 39% of patients at an academic primary care center were not ready to be evaluated at their scheduled appointment time. Our aim was to reduce this to 20% in 3 months' time. Intervention: A multidisciplinary quality improvement team utilized quality improvement tools and methodology to determine that patient punctuality was a major modifiable factor contributing to the care gap. Reforming the scheduling process to include a built in 15-minute early arrival was implemented for acute visits for a 2-week trial period. Based on the successful results, this was then disseminated to all appointment types for a 3-month trial. Results: Of the 182 patients seen during the 2-week trial period, 34 (19%) were not ready to be seen at the time of their appointment, a 20% improvement (P value .001) from baseline. A total of 2832 patients were followed up for all visits during the next 3 months and 590 (21%) were not ready on time (P value .001). Physician and patient satisfaction results improved after the intervention. Conclusions: Utilizing quality improvement tools we were able to find a simple and inexpensive intervention to improve patient punctuality as well as patient and provider satisfaction.
