UT Southwestern Student-Run Free Clinic: Reducing Patient Wait Time
Resumen
Agape Multidisciplinary (Agape MD) is a student-run free clinic partnership between UT Southwestern and the Agape Clinic serving patients in Dallas, Texas. As medical student clinic managers, we noticed lengthy wait times for patients. After tracking wait time over 6 months, we report patient wait times for each component of the visit and used root cause analysis to identify strategies for and obstacles to reducing wait time. Based on this analysis, we plan to stagger appointment times, streamline intake and check-out times, and recruit more faculty members to support our patient volume.
