Abstract:
The outpatient service system at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital came into use since April 2009.Data from Jan.2010 to Oct.2010 and interviews with employees of department in question showed a rapid growth of outpatient appointments,a poor handling of outpatients absenteeism,and poor integration among the platforms of the appointments.The development of outpatient services depends on behavioral change of both medical workers and consumers.Some measures could be employed to improve outpatient appointment within the current mechanism.
