Optional - Details
"This study investigates strategies for eliminating community waiting lists exceeding 52 weeks within Community Health Services (CHS) and also exploring the potential for achieving 92% target at 18 weeks as an aspiration to bring community waits in line with more established elective care waiting lists.
Utilising data from CHS SitReps, it analyses key metrics of load and pressure at both provider and service levels.
Queuing theory is applied to current waiting times to forecast future performance and determine the additional capacity needed to achieve national targets and future aspirations.
Furthermore, the analysis quantifies the ongoing capacity required to maintain a steady state on the waiting list, preventing future backlogs.
This research provides actionable insights for optimising resource allocation and improving patient access to community health services."
