Abstract: Booking appointments and meetings online is quite common nowadays. However, it can be a time-consuming & tedious process, especially if the appointment system is poorly developed. The paper explains how we established a seamless experience for accepting appointments and scheduling meetings using our app. The Appointment Manager App is an android application built in Flutter to view, schedule, manage and track appointments. It uses Google Firebase for the authentication of users. Users can schedule appointments with the higher authorities of the organisation by selecting a suitable date and time, title and description of the meeting and the designation of the attendee. The appointment data is stored in the Firebase Firestore NoSQL database. These meetings can be effortlessly approved, rescheduled and tracked.

Manual appointments for immigration services are still used by Bogor Immigration Office. It is undeniable that the manual system has obstacles in its implementation such as not having a personal data recap of its visiting guests and the difficulty regarding the appointment registration mechanism. This study aims to determine the appointment mechanism at Bogor Immigration Office and provide a design application for an appointment. The research was conducted to overcome problems that occur in the application of the appointment mechanism and provide innovation in the form of a website-based appointment application. This design was carried out using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with the waterfall model. The results of this study are in the form of a website-based appointment application which can later be applied at the Bogor Immigration Office.

INTRODUCTION:Telemedicine can address healthcare disparities by improving access to care and eliminating barriers to in-office appointments. The primary goal of this study is to compare the number of completed telemedicine appointments to the number of completed in-office appointments for an OBGYN residency clinic during the early months of the COVID pandemic. The study also aims to evaluate patient demographics and types of visits performed using telemedicine. METHODS: All OBGYN residency clinic visits at a single institution from March 2020 – May 2020 were included and reviewed. Proportions of the visit type were evaluated for completion as well as the inability to complete the appointment through the telemedicine format. Information collected for the telemedicine visits includes the patient age, primary language spoken, and use of an interpreter during the visit. For patients who were a “no show” to a telemedicine appointment, appointments were reviewed to assess if the patient rescheduled or was lost to follow up. Overall appointment completion rates were compared between telemedicine and in-office visits using a Chi-squared test. RESULTS: Between March - May 2020, there were 598 telemedicine visits at the residency clinic, with 479 (80.1%) completed and 119 (19.9%) not completed. By comparison, in-office visits totaled 3,158 visits, with 78% (2,473) completed and 22% (685) not completed. Chi-squared test comparing telemedicine versus in office visits resulted in a non-significant p-value of 0.32. CONCLUSION:The overall visit completion rate between telemedicine and in-office visits from March - May 2020 was similar. The p-value comparing the completion rates was nonsignificant at 0.32, suggesting the telemedicine visit completion rate is comparable to in-office appointment completion rate.

The Office of the University President of the Mindanao State University in Marawi City has the reputation of being one of the busiest in the university. It handles a variety of concerns, ranging from employee matters to matters of concern coming from the other campuses in the university system. However, matters became greatly complicated when the pandemic began and the hard lockdowns that followed forced everyone to stay at home or work remotely. It was observed that an existing perennial problem at the Office of the President was a lack of an efficient system to handle appointments, which resulted in wasted time and tasks delayed or undone. Hence, the aim of the project was to improve client waiting time by implementing a web-based appointment system. The researcher used two (2) models: the System Usability Scale and Technology Acceptance Model to evaluate the system. As a result, the system has a high level of satisfaction with a percentage of 90.2 from the user based on the overall result from two (2) models used. Therefore, implementing a web-based appointment system will certainly improve client waiting time at the Office of the President and employees at the office can schedule appointments more conveniently.

The Kenyan Constitution, 2010 and the 1996 South African Constitution prescribe eligibility criteria for appointment into public office. The courts in both countries have been vested with the role of policing the boundaries of constitutionality of the exercise of power by the other arms of government. This mandates courts to ascertain whether an appointment by the executive branch meets the constitutionally prescribed threshold. The power of judicial review of appointments by the executive branch has brought the question of separation of powers between the judiciary and the executive into sharp relief. This paper discusses the separation and intertwining of powers between these two branches of government in the context of their respective roles in public appointments.

The judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of 6 May 2021, the subject of which was the assessment of the legality of the resolution of the National Council of the Judiciary on the submission (failure to present) of applications for appointment to the position of a Supreme Court judge in the Civil Chamber, created the possibility of challenging the composition of the adjudicating panels with the participation of judges selected in this procedure. However, the administrative court did not assess the validity of the appointments of judges, finding that the effects of the ruling issued in this case do not relate to the systemic validity and effectiveness of presidential appointments to the office of judge. Therefore, the judgment does not resolve the key issue determining the effectiveness of the appointment of the judiciary

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine how wait time duration is associated with patient satisfaction and how appointment characteristics relate to wait time duration and patient satisfaction in the orthopedic surgery clinic. Methods: Two hundred sixty-four patients visiting one of 3 ambulatory orthopedic surgery clinics were asked to estimate their wait time and to rate their satisfaction with the visit. The associations between appointment characteristics, wait time, and satisfaction were analyzed using t tests, 1-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Wait times were significantly different based on visit type, appointment time, whether an X-ray was required, and whether a trainee was involved ( P < .001). Patients with wait times less than 30 minutes had higher satisfaction scores ( P < .001). Satisfaction ratings were significantly different based on the surgeon’s management recommendation ( P = .0211), but were not significantly different based on sex, age, office location, visit type, appointment time subsection, or time spent with the physician ( P > .05). Conclusion: Wait times negatively correlated with satisfaction. New patient visits, appointment times in the later third of the day, appointments requiring an X-ray, and appointments involving a trainee had significantly longer wait times. Care should be taken to inform patients with visits involving these characteristics that they may experience longer than average wait times.

Abstract Background Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is a well-established and effective way of delivering and monitoring patients requiring long-term IV antibiotics1-2. OPAT follow-up appointments are typically in-office appointments. There is limited to no data regarding readmission rates and outcomes of OPAT patients that had home audio-visual (AV) telemedicine (TM) follow-up appointments3. Our OPAT Program began in December 2013 and serves a major academic Level 1 trauma center as well as several smaller community hospitals within our health system. The OPAT team is a multidisciplinary team consisting of ID Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacist, Nurses and a Coordinator. Historically, we have evaluated patients in the office within 1-2 weeks of hospital discharge and just prior to antibiotic completion. However, there are several barriers to visit completion including lack of transportation, lack of perceived benefit of appointment by the patient, and other mobility issues. In July 2019, we began a pilot program of offering home AV TM visits. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of commercially insured OPAT patients discharged to home from UPMC Presbyterian from July 2019 to February 2020 that had home AV TM visits. We evaluated 30-day readmission rates and complication rates. Results 13 OPAT patients had a telemedicine video visit.. Patient demographics are listed in Table 1. 8 patients were female. The average age of the patients was 54 (range 35-75). 10 of the 13 (77%) patients were treated for osteomyelitis or septic arthritis. 9 of the 13 (69%)patients received a beta-lactam. 4 patients were readmitted, 3 had an ER visit and 1 patient had a PICC line complication (rash). (Figure 1). Half of the readmissions were due to non-infectious causes (OB delivery & pacemaker placement). 2 patients were readmitted due to ongoing infection but only one of these patients had a home TM appointment before their readmission. The other patient’s visit occurred after their readmission. Reasons for ER visits were PICC malfunction, dysuria, and syncope. Patient Demographics Clinical Outcomes Conclusion Home Telemedicine video visits could be an alternative to in-office appointments for OPAT patients. More studies should be done to evaluate this visit modality. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

ABSTRACT Background Trainee well-being is a major concern for institutions and programs, yet many residents report suboptimal access to or contact with primary care for themselves. Objective To address the health care needs of residents, we developed a mechanism whereby all incoming residents were offered an appointment with a primary care clinician (PCP) during institutional intern orientation. Methods In April 2019, all incoming residents (17 specialties) were invited to participate. A collaboration involving the GME office and family medicine and internal medicine departments enabled interested residents to attend PCP appointments that were held at predesignated times during orientation and did not conflict with other orientation or learning activities. Residents received appointment details, and insurance billing processes were followed. A survey was administered to all participating PCPs and incoming residents 2 weeks following their scheduled PCP appointment. Results Of the 144 incoming residents, 118 (82%) participated. Among the 71 of 144 (49%) residents who responded to the survey, 94% indicated that they desired an appointment, with 90% attending the appointment as scheduled; 52% purposed their visit as an introduction for future appointments, while 15% requested prescription refills. All but one recommended that the initiative be offered again in the future. Seventy-two percent stated that participating in the PCP initiative definitely/probably led to improvements in self-care, and 76% indicated that participating definitely/probably made them more conscious of their health and well-being. Conclusions Integrating PCP appointments into orientation is feasible and was highly acceptable in a large academic medical center.

There is still limited information regarding patients’ perception of the dental approach changes in the pandemic circumstance. Therefore, the aims of this study were, firstly, to evaluate patient perception regarding the COVID-19 infection risk in the orthodontic office in Brazil, and to assess the influence of age in infection risk perception. Orthodontic patients from five states answered an online questionnaire, anonymously, about quarantine behavior, perception of the infection risk in the orthodontic office, as well as the apparent need for the new biosafety approach. Descriptive analyses were performed for each question. Correlations between age and concern of getting infected were calculated with Spearman correlation tests. There were 406 responses. Most patients respected the quarantine, and 93.10% of those who were scheduled for appointments realized that their appointment would be safe enough. From the total, 83.99%, 84.98%, 89.90%, and 95.81% of patients judged, respectively, health status checks by phone, temperature checking, disposable coat, and face shield, as necessary. Only 6.40% reported an increase in the concern of returning to appointments. The younger the patient, the greater the concern of getting infected in future appointments (p = 0.042). Most patients were confident in the professional care before the appointment. The new biosafety approach was well accepted by the majority, with less agreement with temperature checking and the use of disposable coats. The younger the patient, the greater the concern of getting infected in future appointments. The rate of patients with risk factors for COVID-19 was 14.77%.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act had a profound impact on health insurance coverage of children. Given the importance of pediatric specialty care, this study assessed access to pediatric orthopedic urgent care for a child’s likely operative distal radius fracture. Researchers called 180 pediatric orthopedic surgeons in 8 states requesting appointments for the caller’s fictitious 11-year-old child who suffered a distal radius fracture. Each office was called twice to assess the ability to obtain an appointment for Medicaid and privately insured patients. Overall, significantly fewer offices scheduled appointments for Medicaid than privately insured patients (38.3% vs 82.8%, P < .001). Patients with Medicaid in states without Medicaid expansion were more successful in obtaining appointments than patients with Medicaid in states with Medicaid expansion (41 [47%] vs 28 [30%]; P < .001; 95% confidence interval = 0.3-0.9). Pediatric Medicaid patients experienced reduced access to care, and this access was worse in states that had expanded Medicaid eligibility.

Category: Other Introduction/Purpose: Studies have shown that patients enrolled in Medicaid have difficulty obtaining access to care compared to patients with private insurance. Whether variables such as geographic location, state expansion vs. non-expansion, and private versus academic affiliation affect access to care among foot and ankle surgery patients enrolled in Medicaid has not been previously established. Methods: Twenty providers from each of five Medicaid-expanded and five non-expanded states in different U.S. geographic regions were randomly chosen via the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) directory. One investigator contacted each office requesting the earliest available appointment for their fictitious relative’s acute Achilles tendon rupture or hallux valgus. Investigator insurance was stated to be Medicaid for half of phone calls, and Blue-Cross Blue-Shield (BCBS) for the other half. Appointment success rate and average time to appointment were compared between private insurance and Medicaid. Results were further compared across geographic regions, between private and academic practices, and between urgent acute injury (Achilles rupture) and chronic non-urgent injury (hallux valgus). Results: Appointments were successful for all 100 (100%) calls made with BCBS, in comparison to 73 of 100 calls (73%) with Medicaid (p<0.001). Both acute and chronic injury had significantly higher success rates with BCBS than Medicaid (p<0.001). Appointment success rate was significantly lower with Medicaid than with BCBS (p<=0.01) in all geographic regions. Success rate with Medicaid (66.7%) was significantly lower than with BCBS (100.0%, p<0.001) for private practice offices, but not for academic practices. Conclusion: Patients with Medicaid experience difficulty in obtaining appointments for common non-emergent foot and ankle problems and may experience increased difficulty scheduling appointments at private rather than academic institutions. The medical community should continue to seek and identify potential interventions which can improve access to orthopaedic care for all patients, regardless of insurance status. [Table: see text]

Developing the capacity of prospective heads of departments (HoDs) at universities is essential for promoting effective leadership and enhancing performance within higher academic institutions. This research investigated capacity building prior to appointment as a HoD in Ghana. The study aimed to enhance capacity building of heads of departments prior to their appointment as heads at the University of Cape Coast. A descriptive survey design was used, and 40 Heads of Department across the University Campuses were sampled for the study. A structured questionnaire was used for the data collection. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings show that all the academic HoDs in this study have not been offered any orientation/workshop or formalized training before their appointments as Heads of Departments. Most of the HoDs desired to acquire office procedures skills before they were appointed HoDs. This study has shown that academic HoDs in the University of Cape Coast do not have any orientation/workshop or formalized training prior to appointments as heads of departments. The university should provide training programmes and workshops for academic candidates (Senior Lecturers/Associate Professors/Professors) who are eligible for appointment as heads of departments to improve their administrative skills and competencies before their appointments to the position of HoDs.

Objectives Fines have been proposed as means for reducing non-attendance in healthcare. The empirical evidence of the effect of fines is however limited. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of fining non-attendance at outpatient clinics. Design, participants and setting 1:1 randomised controlled trial of appointments for an outpatient clinic, posted to Danish addresses, between 1 May 2015 and 30 November 2015. Only first appointment for users was included. Healthcare professionals and investigators were masked. Intervention A fine of DKK250 (€34) was issued for non-attendance. Users were informed about the fine in case of non-attendance by the appointment letter, and were able to reschedule or cancel until the appointment. A central administration office administered the fine system. Main outcome measures The main outcome measures were non-attendance of non-cancelled appointments, fine policy administration costs, net of productivity consequences and probability of fining non-attendance being cost-effective over no fining for a range of hypothetical values of reduced non-attendance. Results All of the 6746 appointments included were analysed. Of the 3333 appointments randomised to the fine policy, 130 (5%) of non-cancelled appointments were unattended, and of the 3413 appointments randomised to no-fine policy, 131 (5%) were unattended. The cost per appointment of non-attendance was estimated at DKK 56 (SE 5) in the fine group and DKK47 (SE 4) in the no-fine group, leading to a non-statistically significant difference of DKK10 (95% CI –9 to 22) per appointment attributable to the fine policy. The probability of cost-effectiveness remained around 50%, irrespective of increased values of reduced non-attendance or various alternative assumptions used for sensitivity analyses. Conclusions At a baseline level of around 5%, fining non-attendance does not seem to further reduce non-attendance. Future studies should focus on other means for reduction of non-attendance such as nudging or negative reinforcement. Trial registration number NCT61925912

Bias and discrimination in appointment processes such as hiring decisions (and analogous selection procedures for performance evaluations, promotions, scholarships, and awards), are quantified statistically via the binomial distribution. These statistical measures are described and an easily used webapp for calculating them is provided. The measures considered include the likelihood that a given number of appointments arose from a fair process and the likelihood that an existing process would give rise to a fair outcome if it were repeated. These methods are illustrated by applying them to sex (including gender) discrimination and racial discrimination in senior appointments in the Australian university sector; both conscious and unconscious biases are included. Significant sex discrimination is found to have existed in the appointments of university chief executives (Vice Chancellors) who were in office in 2018, but with a moderate chance that current processes will yield fair outcomes in the future. However, there is no evidence of strong sex discrimination in the country’s eight main research universities for senior appointments (i.e., Faculty Deans and members of their governing Boards or Senates) for those in office as of 2021. However, at the same dates, extreme racial discrimination was implicit in the selection procedures for both Vice Chancellors and senior appointments in all these universities. The University of Sydney’s senior appointments were found to have had the most racially biased outcomes among the country’s eight main research universities. Significantly, there is negligible statistical likelihood of achieving racially unbiased outcomes in the future in any of the contexts considered, unless the selection procedures are significantly modified.

CONTEXT: The interaction between a physician and his or her patient is complex and occurs by means of technical performance and through a personal relationship. OBJECTIVE: To assess the interaction between the medical professional and his or her patient with the participation of medical students assuming a role as observers and participants in a medical appointment in an outpatient office. DESIGN: Questionnaire interview study. SETTING: General Medicine outpatient offices, Hospital das Clínicas, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo. PARTICIPANTS: Medical students performed an ethnographical technique of observation, following 199 outpatient medical appointments with Clinical Medicine Residents. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: A questionnaire filled out by observer students measured the physician's attitudes towards patients, as well as patients' expectations regarding the appointment and his or her understanding after its completion. RESULTS: Patients showed higher enthusiasm after the appointment (4.47 ± 0.06 versus 2.62 ± 0.10) (mean ± SEM), as well as some negative remarks such as in relation to the waiting time. The time spent in the consultation was 24.66 ± 4.45 minutes (mean ± SEM) and the waiting time was 123.09 ± 4.91 minutes. The physician's written orientation was fairly well recalled by the patient when the doctor's letter could be previously understood. CONCLUSION: Patients benefit from physicians who keep the focus on them. In addition, this program stimulated the students for their accomplishment of the medical course.

Various promotion requirements are adopted in the appointment of classroom or subject educators as office-based educators or subject advisors (education specialists) in the Department of Basic Education. This qualitative adopted interpretive paradigm study sought to explore educators' lived experiences on the promotion requirements espoused by the Department for the appointment of qualified educators as office-based educators. Ten educator-participants were purposively selected for a semi-structured, face-to-face interview to collect in-depth data for the study. Collected data were thematically analysed to generate themes for the presentation and discussion of findings. The promotion requirements for office-based educators are inadequately utilised in the selection of suitable candidates for the posts. The study established an unfair promotion process in the appointment of office-based educators, and thus, many qualified educators are disadvantaged. The study recommends that promotion requirements should be adhered to in the selection process, to ensure fairness and social justice for all qualified candidates.

Abstract This second and concluding part of a two-part article considers the annulment actions by Advocate General Sharpston of the CJEU seeking to challenge the premature termination of her term of office as a result of a decision of the Member State governments, following withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. While in its case law the Court of Justice has been in the vanguard in ensuring the protection of judicial independence in the courts of the Member States and the right of judges to a review of decisions entailing their dismissal, Ms. Sharpston’s proceedings were rejected by both the General Court and on appeal the Court of Justice essentially on grounds of lack of jurisdiction. The Courts’ reasoning is incomplete and unconvincing, and doubts remain as to whether the former Advocate General has been afforded effective judicial protection of her claimed right to finish out her term of office.

We study how two selection systems for public officials, appointment and election, affect policy outcomes, focusing on state court judges and their criminal sentencing decisions. First, under appointment, policy congruence with voter preferences is attained through selecting judges with homogeneous preferences. In contrast, under election, judges face strong reelection incentives, while selection on preferences is weak. Second, the effectiveness of election in attaining policy congruence critically depends on payoffs from the job, which implies that the effectiveness of election may vary substantially across public offices. Third, reelection incentives may discourage judges with significant human capital from holding office. (JEL D72, K41)

Every guidance counselor finds remote appointments an important tool for managing appointments since it allows them to establish a list of available time slots, see student information, and make appointments without ever leaving their office. This online counseling appointment application provides students with media-related mental health activities and stress-coping skills that are relevant to the university’s counseling services. Specifically, it has the following features: (a) provides information to the students related to some guidance on how to cope with stress; (b) generates reports to be used by a guidance counselor in providing insight they need to effectively counsel so many students; and (c) helps the guidance counselor extend their counseling service to the student. The descriptive research approach was used with JavaScript as the scripting programming language and MySQL as the database. The prototyping software approach was also used, allowing the researcher to come up with additional ideas rapidly, improve on them quickly, and show users the feature and overall design concept before implementation. The evaluation findings show that the system was "excellent" in both evaluations using modified ISO 9126 software product quality standards, showing that the developed application met all of the required requirements of the software quality test from respondents. The mean and standard deviation were used to tabulate, analyze, and statistically treat the results. Overall, the results and feedback indicate a good impact on the needs of guidance counselors.

ABSTRACTObjective:To evaluate the effectiveness of patient-chosen appointment reminder methods (phone call, e-mail, or SMS text) in reducing no-show rates.Materials and Methods:This was a retrospective case study that determined the correlation between patient-chosen appointment reminder methods and no-show rates in a private orthodontic practice. This study was conducted in a single office location of a multioffice private orthodontic practice using data gathered in 2015. The subjects were patients who self-selected the appointment reminder method (phone call, e-mail, or SMS text). Patient appointment data were collected over a 6-month period. Patient attendance was analyzed with descriptive statistics to determine any significant differences among patient-chosen reminder methods.Results:There was a total of 1193 appointments with an average no-show rate of 2.43% across the three reminder methods. No statistically significant differences (P = .569) were observed in the no-show rates between the three methods: phone call (3.49%), e-mail (2.68%), and SMS text (1.90%).Conclusions:The electronic appointment reminder methods (SMS text and e-mail) had lower no-show rates compared with the phone call method, with SMS text having the lowest no-show rate of 1.90%. However, since no significant differences were observed between the three patient-chosen reminder methods, providers may want to allow patients to choose their reminder method to decrease no-shows.

Promotion to high office in the Cameroonian administration, appear to be one of the main topic of political communication in Cameroun. The communitarian claims of appointment put both individuals and communities in competitive situations and are often the source of social conflicts. The problem is to understand the focus of political communication on appointment in the Administration in Cameroon and the possible link that it could have with conflictuality in the country. From a theoretical point of view, each act of appointment can be understood as a message from the President of the Republic whose power of appointment is unlimited. The president’s acts of appointment; on the one hand; and the demands from communities, on the other, appear to be a kind of communication. Data analysis will be guided by the theory of "the actor and the system". From a methodological point of view, we used documentary observation in the national and international press. We also had an in-depth interview with a former minister who, however, requested anonymity. Finally, our 26-year service as an employee gives us the advantage of experience gained through participatory observation. It appeared that appointment, through the numerous and consistent advantages that it confers on the promoted, thus appears to the citizens, as the main means of access to the fortune from which the covetousness of both the individuals and their communities of origin arises. Unfortunately, the state is unable to meet all expectations. However, individual, as well as community, strategies of access to appointments expose the nation to more division than cohesion.

The aim of writing the article is to discuss the legal consequences of appointing foundation supervisors by administrators and supervisors whose terms of office have ended. This study is socio legal research using a socio-legal approach. Data collection techniques used interviews and documentation studies, data analysis used qualitative descriptive analysis. The management and supervisors who appointed the supervisors have had their term of office expired so they do not have the authority to make the appointment. The legal consequences that occur are that the position is invalid, the supervisor does not have authority, the legal action taken is invalid, can be sued if someone is harmed, the meeting decision statement is not an authentic deed, personally responsible if there is loss. The appointment of supervisors is in accordance with organ theory, namely that the appointment of supervisors is necessary because they are the highest organ in the foundation and have an important role in making various decisions. Appointment is contrary to the theory of attributive authority and legal certainty. The issuance of a Decree from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights is the reason to justify the validity of the appointment of foundation supervisors. Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan memb

Background “Direct-to-consumer (DTC) telemedicine” is increasing worldwide and changing the map of primary health care (PHC). Virtual care has increased in the last decade and with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, patients’ use of online care has increased even further. In Sweden, online consultations are a part of government-supported health care today, and there are several digital care providers on the Swedish market, which makes it possible to get in touch with a doctor within a few minutes. The fast expansion of this market has raised questions about the quality of primary care provided only in an online setting without any physical appointments. Antibiotic prescribing is a common treatment in PHC. Objective This study aimed to compare antibiotic prescribing between digital PHC providers (internet-PHC) and traditional physical PHC providers (physical-PHC) and to determine whether prescriptions for specific diagnoses differed between internet-PHC and physical-PHC appointments, adjusted for the effects of attained age at the time of appointment, gender, and time relative to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Antibiotic prescribing data based on Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) codes were obtained for Region Sörmland residents from January 2020 until March 2021 from the Regional Administrative Office. In total, 160,238 appointments for 68,332 Sörmland residents were included (124,398 physical-PHC and 35,840 internet-PHC appointments). Prescriptions issued by internet-PHC or physical-PHC physicians were considered. Information on the appointment date, staff category serving the patient, ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision) diagnosis codes, ATC codes of prescribed medicines, and patient-attained age and gender were used. Results A total of 160,238 health care appointments were registered, of which 18,433 led to an infection diagnosis. There were large differences in gender and attained age distributions among physical-PHC and internet-PHC appointments. Physical-PHC appointments peaked among patients aged 60-80 years while internet-PHC appointments peaked at 20-30 years of age for both genders. Antibiotics with the ATC codes J01A-J01X were prescribed in 9.3% (11,609/124,398) of physical-PHC appointments as compared with 6.1% (2201/35,840) of internet-PHC appointments. In addition, 61.3% (6412/10,454) of physical-PHC infection appointments resulted in antibiotic prescriptions, as compared with only 25.8% (2057/7979) of internet-PHC appointments. Analyses of the prescribed antibiotics showed that internet-PHC followed regional recommendations for all diagnoses. Physical-PHC also followed the recommendations but used a wider spectrum of antibiotics. The odds ratio of receiving an antibiotic prescription (after adjustments for attained age at the time of appointment, patient gender, and whether the prescription was issued before or during the COVID-19 pandemic) during an internet-PHC appointment was 0.23-0.39 as compared with a physical-PHC appointment. Conclusions Internet-PHC appointments resulted in a significantly lower number of antibiotics prescriptions than physical-PHC appointments, adjusted for the large differences in the characteristics of patients who consult internet-PHC and physical-PHC. Internet-PHC prescribers showed appropriate prescribing according to guidelines.

150 Background: In 2013, a patient reported satisfaction survey indicated 19% of patients waited 20-40 minutes, 8% 40-60 minutes and 4% over 1 hour. We initiated a project to objectively quantify the components of wait times to investigate opportunities for improvement. Methods: Utilizing existing technology in the practice management system, clinic staff use the Day List feature to capture time stamps as patients move through the clinic. We focused on provider appointments but these visits could also include business office, labs, infusion and diagnostics. It was important to define where the wait(s) occurred. The Time Stamp durations measured are as follows: Arrival to Depart – duration of each appointment; Arrival to site to Exam Start – duration of activity until ready to be seen by the provider, includes rooming, labs and business office activity. Used to compare to the patient satisfaction survey responses; Exam Start to Depart – the provider portion of the office visit, includes patient wait plus exam time. Three reports are generated: Time Stamp Error Report indicating the completeness of data collection; Average Wait Times Report with appointment counts by physician by site and average durations; Provider Wait Times Report with office visit counts, Wait Time Category counts ( < 10 min, 10-20, 20-40, 40-60, and > 1 hour ) and average durations. Results: There was a correlation calculation to the patient satisfaction survey of .779, with long wait times more likely to be underreported by patients. Site and physician data were available for review at site Quality Committees. The data can be used by the site to improve processes, such as lab and infusion room scheduling. Time stamps are used to communicate patient readiness for next steps in the office visit. The time stamps provide objective data to discuss patient complaints with staff. Conclusions: Patient wait times are a valued measure of patient satisfaction and quality. Full utilization of the Day List and supporting technology allows us to objectively monitor and improve this aspect of patient care. Table 1: Sample Provider Report [Table: see text]

Abstract Abstract 241 Study Objectives: To report the patients' ability to make and keep follow-up appointments, obtain analgesic prescriptions, and continued presence of pain for adult emergency department (ED) patients with sickle cell disease, seven and 30 days post ED visit. Barriers to making and keeping appointments and filling analgesic prescriptions were explored. Methods: A multi-center, prospective, longitudinal surveillance study enrolled patients from three academic medical centers (rural and urban). All ED patients ≥18 years with a chief complaint of a sickle cell pain episode were eligible for inclusion. Patients participated in an initial interview within 14 days of their ED visit and/or a second interview 21–37 days from their ED visit. Patients were interviewed at most once per month. The initial interview was conducted either during the hospitalization if admitted, or by follow-up phone call. The 2nd interview was conducted by phone. Pain scores at the time of both interviews were obtained. During the 2nd interview patients were asked if they were able to (1) make and keep a follow-up appointment, (2) whether or not they received and were able to fill an analgesic prescription and (3) associated barriers to either. Each study site conducted a minimum of 10 interviews per quarter. The study period was from October 2007 through July 2009. Descriptive statistics were used to report the data. A paired t-test was used to analyze differences in 7 and 30 day pain scores. Qualitative analysis was used to analyze free text barrier responses to making and keeping an appointment and filling prescriptions. Results: One hundred fifty seven initial interviews and 108 second interviews were completed, 80 different patients, 51% male, mean age 34±10, ages 18–51. Sixty six percent of patients reported they were able to obtain an appointment with a primary care physician after discharge. Of those with difficulty getting an appointment, barriers included: patient did not attempt to obtain an appointment (24%), no current appointments available (21%), difficulty getting a hold of MD office (18%), difficulty finding an MD (15%), no time to go to appointment (9%), lost MD phone number (6%), unspecified (6%), and no money for appointment (3%). Sixty six percent of patients with an appointment reported keeping their appointment or had a future appointment scheduled. Reasons why patients did not keep their appointment included: had to work, out of town, in hospital before appointment, forgot when appointment was, no money for appointment. At discharge from the ED or hospital, 70% of patients reported they needed an analgesic prescription and 66% of patients received a prescription for analgesics. Nineteen percent of patients reported difficulty filling their prescription. Difficulties included: prescription written incorrectly, dose was not available at pharmacy, pharmacy was closed, no money for prescription, homeless. Initial interview pain scores (median, IQR) were 7; (6.25, 8), and 2nd interview pain scores were 8; (7, 9). 57 patients participated in both an initial and follow-up interview and no differences in pain scores were reported, (p=0.83). Forty three percent of patients (who were discharged home from the ED) during the initial interview, and 59% of patients during the 2nd interview reported being unable to manage their pain at home. On the second interview, 74% of patients reported they were currently experiencing sickle cell pain and 72% reported they were taking pain medication every day. Conclusion Many ED patients did not keep follow-up appointments and a smaller number of patients experienced barriers to filling analgesic prescriptions. Over half of patients reported continued pain in the severe range 30 days after the ED visit. Disclosures: Tanabe: NIH, and Mayday Fund: Research Funding. Hafner:Mayday Fund: Research Funding.

Background Missed research appointments may bias the outcome of prospective clinical trials if the participants that miss appointments differ in important ways from those that do not. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of missed research appointments in patients enrolled in clinical trials. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 665 participants enrolled in ten prospective clinical trials conducted at our outpatient office between 2001 and 2010. Demographic data (sex, race, date of birth, date of enrollment, age at enrollment, educational level, and work status), study coordinator, and study type were analyzed for association with missed a research appointment in bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results One hundred and forty-four (21.7 %) participants missed research appointments during their follow-up. There were no statistical differences between those who missed appointments and those who did not, regarding sex, race, and age at enrollment. Educational level and work status were independent predictors of missed appointments. Conclusions This study suggests that educational level and work status are predictors of missed appointments in prospective clinical research.

PROBLEMS WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF THE PAPAL NUNCIO TO POLAND, NOVEMBER 1935 – APRIL 1937SummaryThe article describes the appointment of Filippo Cortesi to the office of papal nuncio to the Republic of Poland, and reviews the role of the Polish diplomats accredited to the Holy See in this process. The appointment of a nuncio following the departure of Francesco Marmaggi was extremely complicated. The list of candidates was the resultant of a number of factors. The individuals whose names were on it had used influence with the pope, the Vatican’s secretary of state, or former nuncios to Warsaw. Both the Polish government and the bishops of Poland had a say in the final outcome. In addition there was also the volatile political situation in Europe at the time, especially in Spain and Yugoslavia, which exerted an effect on the process. In June 1936 Carlo Chiarlo received the nomination for the office. However, the unanimously negative position of the Conference of the Bishops of Poland, especially Cardinals Kakowski and Hlond, stopped the appointment at the last moment. The Polish Government did not want Ermenegildo Pellegrinetti to be appointed and tried to prevent it, considering Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli the ideal candidate. Eventually Pius XI appointed Filippo Cortesi, formerly nuncio to Argentina.

In this article the author shows the conditions that determines the position of the Constitutional Court’s judge. These conditions include the appointment of judge, his status and his financial independence and they are analyzed both from a theoretical point of view, as well from a comparative point of view.
Under the election or appointment of judges means the way in which he was elected or appointed by the competent authority, and all the qualifications he had to have in order to meet the requirements for the selection of a function of the Constitutional judge. Status of judges includes several elements that are analyzed in this paper as follows: a period in which the judges are elected in the function, or term of office, a possible re-election, termination of judge’s term of office, incompatibility of judicial office, and immunity of a judge of the Constitutional Court. His financial autonomy and material position of the constitutional judge itself is one of the guarantor of judicial independence.

In 2005, Minister of Justice Irwin Cotler proposed and tabled in Parliament a number of reforms to the federal judicial appointment process. These reforms were designed to increase the transparency and enhance the accountability of the procedures by which judges are appointed to federally operated Canadian courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Included in the reform package was a Code of Ethics for members of the judicial appointment committees, as well as a directive to publish on an annual basis the identity of the members of the judicial appointment committees, the number of total applications for judicial office, and the number of that total that have been recommended or highly recommended by the committee. Crucially, a set of guidelines for the operation of the judicial appointment committees was provided, which outlined the overriding principles that committee members were to consider during the appointment advisory process.

INTRODUCTION Patients with minor anorectal conditions are frequently reviewed at an 8-week out-patient appointment (OPA). This study was designed to assess whether telephone follow-up could reduce OPA numbers whilst maintaining patient satisfaction. PATIENTS AND METHODS Over an 11-month period, 46 patients (23 male) underwent banding of haemorrhoids and 14 were prescribed medical treatment for fissure-in-ano (3 male). All were telephoned at 6 weeks and were offered an 8-week OPA if they had continuing problems. Patients were telephoned at a later date by a member of the hospital's patient panel to assess satisfaction. RESULTS Overall, 88% were contacted at 6 weeks, 60% at the first attempt; 40% required two or more attempts. Of those who underwent banding, 68% were asymptomatic, 17% requested an OPA for re-banding and 15% requested an OPA for a different problem. Of fissure patients, 25% were cured; the remainder were prescribed either second-line medical treatment (8%), anorectal physiology (42%) or surgery (25%). All avoided an OPA. Of a potential 60 OPAs, 47 were saved by telephone follow-up. None of 7 non-contactable patients accepted a written offer of an OPA. Overall, 89% of patients were contacted by the patient panel; of these patients, 93% reported a high level of satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS Telephone follow-up can reduce the number of OPAs following out-patient treatment of minor anorectal conditions whilst maintaining a high level of patient satisfaction. However, it requires considerable consultant time. This process could be developed into either a nurse-led service with booked telephone appointments or a patient-led service to a dedicated hotline.

This article gives an overview of the legal system of Switzerland and then compares the judiciaries of Switzerland and New Zealand. As far as Switzerland is concerned, it covers both the system of the Swiss Federation and the systems in the cantons. After analysing the powers enjoyed by the judiciary via the legislature, the article examines the appointment of judges in detail. The author explains how, in Switzerland, openly political and other considerations are weighed in the course of electing judges and how the appointment of lay judges is balanced with an active role of law clerks. In contrast, New Zealand has a proud tradition of apolitical judicial appointments that are made solely based on merit. The author criticises that Swiss judges are elected for a term of office, whereas New Zealand judges enjoy the security of tenure and thus, a greater judicial independence. Lastly, the article covers the removal and discipline of judges, where the author, while he commends the recent reform in New Zealand, he advocates for a system where the ultimate decision is given to an independent judicial body rather than a parliament.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the value of corporate political connections resulting from the revolving door of employment between political office and the for-profit corporation. The authors test whether there is value to firms from political connections provided by the appointment of former politicians to corporate boards or management teams. The authors also test to see if passage through the door in the other direction, from the corporate world to public office, generates value for firms. Do firms whose former employees gain public office earn excess returns following their appointment or election to these positions? Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used in this study focusses on an empirical analysis of the political connections of US firms over the sample period 1996-2011. The analysis emphasizes the wealth effects associated with the announcement of hiring former politicians to corporate boards or the gaining of political office by former corporate employees. Findings – The authors find that politicians becoming corporate directors is 2.5 times more common than corporate executives gaining public office. The authors determine that industries with extensive government regulation most often hire former politicians. The authors find that the office held by former politicians matters. The authors find that longevity in a cabinet position is important while formal Congressional or Senate leadership positions are not. Surprisingly, the authors determine the longer politicians are out of office, the more value they are able to provide to the firm. Finally, the authors discover that firms which hire former politicians have significantly positive long-term abnormal returns, but firms whose managers enter politics do not. Originality/value – This study is highly original in its examination of political connections resulting from door swing in both directions. Further, the analysis of longevity, time out of office, and position held adds to the contributions made by this study.

Introduction. This article discusses the problems of the quality of outpatient care for medical students. Most of the students prefer not to seek medical help from specialists even in difficult situations, and in most cases they self-medicate. This is caused by an insufficient degree of quality service by the outpatient polyclinic service of the attached contingent. The existing state system of medical care is imperfect: there is no unified approach to the organization of student polyclinics; medical organizations do not take into account the age and social specifics of students; low continuity in the rehabilitation and treatment of patients; there is insufficient preventive work among students.Aim: To determine the level of satisfaction with the quality of medical services provided to medical students.Material and Methods. The sociological method included a survey of medical students (1026 respondents) according to a specially designed questionnaire that contained questions about the scope, nature, quality of work and satisfaction with the conditions of the polyclinic institution. The logistic method consisted in the analysis of personnel, resource provision, as well as the activities of the medical institution.Results. Most of the medical students encounter organizational obstacles (appointment, waiting lists at the registry, waiting lists at the day hospital, waiting lists at the reception, etc.). 38.0% of respondents noted that when health problems appear, it is easier for them to go to the medical office of the college than to the district doctor. Moreover, 64.3% of respondents do not have information about the district doctor. Satisfaction depends on a number of factors such as: waiting time for a doctor’s appointment at the office (p < 0.001), availability when making an appointment with a doctor at a polyclinic (p < 0.001), preference when contacting a doctor when health problems appear (p < 0.001), the presence of organizational difficulties to get an appointment or treatment in a polyclinic (p < 0.001), the location of the registry and specialist offices, the terminal for making an appointment (p < 0.001), as well as the conditions of stay in a medical facility (p < 0.001).Conclusion. The necessity of introducing feedback into the practice of working with a contingent of medical students, using available screening technologies to actively identify the most significant factors and risk groups of the most common pathology, taking measures to reduce the impact of controlled factors, as well as annual preventive examinations and medical examinations has been identified.

The Honorary Staff Appointment and Assignment Program initiated by the Education Office of North Gorontalo Regency is one of the regional responses to overcome the shortage of teachers in remote areas and islands [1]. The purpose of this study is to build a decision support systemv that is used to assist the Education Office of North Gorontalo Regency in the process of appointing and assigning honorary staff. This study uses the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. This method is based on the concept that the best chosen alternative not only has the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution, but also has the longest distance from the negative ideal solution. This method is widely used to complete practical decision making [2]. The results of this study are by using the TOPSIS method in a decision support system that can facilitate decision makers related to the issue of the Handling and Assignment of Honorary Personnel at the Education Office of North Gorontalo Regency, especially in the assessment process according to predetermined criteria. The results of this assessment took a sample of 3 honorary candidates with the best score alterative obtained by a total value of 0.74 with the results being accepted as honorary

(1) Background: System-level data on waiting time in the outpatient setting in Hungary is scarce. The objective of the study was to explore self-reported waiting time for an appointment and at a doctor’s office. (2) Methods: An online, cross-sectional, self-administered survey was carried out in 2019 in Hungary among a representative sample (n = 1000) of the general adult population. Chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis were carried out to explore if socioeconomic characteristics, health status, or residence were associated with waiting times and the perception of waiting time as a problem. (3) Results: Proportions of 90%, 41%, and 64% of respondents were seen within a week by family doctor, public specialist, and private specialist, respectively. One-third of respondents waited more than a month to get an appointment with a public specialist. Respondents in better health status reported shorter waiting times; those respondents were less likely to perceive a problem with: (1) waiting time to get an appointment (OR = 0.400) and (2) waiting time at a doctor’s office (OR = 0.519). (4) Conclusions: Longest waiting times were reported for public specialist visits, but waiting times were favorable for family doctors and private specialists. Further investigation is needed to better understand potential inequities affecting people in worse health status.

Political conflict across Africa is often linked to the pervasive use of patronage in retaining control of the state. However, few sources of data have been available to systematically examine the relationship between a leader’s patronage strategies and the likelihood of an extraconstitutional change in power. This article employs ministerial appointments to the cabinet as a proxy for changes in the size of a leader’s patronage coalition. With time-series cross-section data on 40 African countries, this study shows that the size of cabinets varies systematically according to regime type, resource constraints, ethnic fractionalization, and total population. It then shows that African leaders extend their tenure in office by expanding their patronage coalition through cabinet appointments. A proportional hazards model of regime duration indicates that cabinet expansion lowers the probability of a leader’s being deposed through a coup. The appointment of one additional minister to the cabinet lowers a leader’s coup risk by a greater extent than does a 1-percentage-point increase in economic growth.

The performance assessment of honorary staff at the Manpower Office was conducted on 7 employees. Aiming to carry out performance appraisals in order to help the office or agency to be able to determine the appropriate employees to be elected if there is an appointment that is carried out once in 4 years, then it is carried out for the assessment of the performance of honorary employees. Then we need a system that can help make a decision to assess the performance of honorary staff as a reasonable basis for 4 years in the future to be able to submit an appointment file based on the criteria and the weight value of each predetermined criterion such as, 35% Attendance, 20% Work Quality, Work Discipline 20%, Service 25%. So that the ranking results that have been processed using the MOORA algorithm, namely, A1: 0.4139 are eligible to be selected in the performance assessment of the highest number of honorary staff. And A3: 0.4103, A2: 0.4042 and so on.
