More than 1,800 coronavirus vaccine doses have been tossed across Massachusetts since the start of the vax rollout, according to the state's latest tally of wasted shots.
Posted March 24th, 2021 for Lahey Clinic Posted on Collaboration with Engineers Yields Reduced Patient Wait-Times and Increased Efficiency
Burlington, MA – The first known study exploring optimal outpatient exam scheduling through a model algorithm was shown to yield shorter wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients and reduced costs. A collaboration including clinical and operational experts at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center and Philips along with engineers at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College worked to identify sources of delays for MRI procedures at LHMC in order to develop a mathematical model to optimize scheduling. The study, which appears in
Statement attributable to the Board of Directors of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry: Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has tested the limits of the laboratory medicine community s ingenuity and endurance. However, even as we have faced unprecedented challenges during this outbreak, our Asian and Asian American colleagues have been facing another outbreak: a surge of directed hostility and violence, fueled in part by xenophobic rhetoric around the coronavirus. It shouldn t have taken a shocking and deadly event to bring these circumstances to the level of attention and concern they have always deserved. We are appalled and angered by the horrific acts committed in and around Atlanta on March 16, which took the lives of eight people, including six Asian American women. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of all the shooting victims. We are equally devastated by the ongoing racist attacks targeting the Asian American community that preceded the
New algorithm reduces patient wait times, minimizes costs associated with exam delays
The first known study to explore optimal outpatient exam scheduling given the flexibility of inpatient exams has resulted in shorter wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patients at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, Mass.
A team of researchers from Dartmouth Engineering and Philips worked to identify sources of delays for MRI procedures at Lahey Hospital in order to optimize scheduling and reduce overall costs for the hospital by 23 percent.
The Dartmouth-led study, Stochastic programming for outpatient scheduling with flexible inpatient exam accommodation, was sponsored by Philips and recently published by
