Appointment systems: feasibility study of a new approach

A T Harrison. Br Med J (Clin Res Ed). .

Patients in a semirural dispensing practice were asked to determine how much time they required when booking an appointment. A comparison was made between their estimates and the actual time taken. Patients' estimates proved sufficiently accurate to produce a system that worked well.
