Group Assignment #2 1) What is the utilization at each step of the process in the clinic? Front Desk: a. Registration: The total availability time = 3*180 = 540 min The total registration time = 80*5 = 400 min (New patient & Follow-up patient) The utilization of Registration = 400/540 = 74.07% b. Verification & Hand-off: Total available time = (4*60 + 15)*3 = 255*3 = 765 min The number of follow-up patients = 80*60% = 48 people The number of new patients = 80*40%
