FAQ

What is a good OPD waiting time?

A patient waiting >30 minutes for a consultation is considered a quality gap; the benchmark target is ≤15 minutes median wait.

What is the standard discharge TAT in hospitals?

Best practice is ≤2 hours from discharge order to patient exit; >4 hours indicates process gaps in billing, pharmacy or transport.

How do I reduce lab TAT?

Automated analysers, pneumatic tube systems, dedicated phlebotomists and shift-based lab staffing aligned to peak demand hours are the key levers.
