Patient appointment systems are crucial in managing healthcare delivery by organizing patient flow, reducing wait times, and enhancing overall efficiency. The effectiveness of these systems directly affects patient satisfaction and care quality. In this research, a sample of 100 health information officers was selected through simple random sampling, and data were collected using structured questionnaires. Analysis reveals that UBTH employs a hybrid manual and computerized appointment system. While this system is effective, patient waiting times are significantly impacted by external factors such as overcrowding, emergencies, and staffing shortages. Although staff express high satisfaction with the system, delays remain a concern. Recommendations to address these issues include increasing staffing levels, transitioning to a fully electronic scheduling system, implementing flexible appointment slots, and automating reminders. These improvements are essential for optimizing appointment efficiency and enhancing patient satisfaction and care quality at UBTH....Preview Download Preview +Other Health Information Management project topics and materials you might be interested in»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling»Impact of health information management in healthcare delivery»Evaluation of the problems and constraints facing health record keeping and professionals»Assessment of challenges of health information management practice in General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara State»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling patients health records in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»A study into causes of misfiling among health information management professionals in health records department - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»Factors militating against effective documentation in health care delivery system in University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Edo state»Evaluation of confidentiality of patient health records among hospital staff»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta state»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»Impact of health statistics in the health care delivery system at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care»Knowledge and perception of health information management professionals on electronic coding for quality clinical data in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state
