Description

NHP Programme wishes to fix these operational parameters.

Workload

  • General outpatient consultation - first appt. - duration 30m
  • General outpatient consultation - follow-up appt. - duration 20m
  • Virtual outpatient consulation - first appt. - duration 30m
  • Virtual outpatient consulation - follow-up appt. - duration 20m

Operational

  • Outpatient minor procedure - annual operational hours - 55 hours per week, 52 weeks per year

We should consider whether changes to assumed time lost to DNAs are required (currently 20m for all types of activity).

Type First Duration DNA time lost
consult first 38 (30) 20
consult follow-up 20 (20) 20
virtual first 26 (30) 20
virtual follow-up 26 (20) 20
procedure first 28 20
