Reducing the MRI outpatient waiting list through a capacity and demand time series improvement programme

CONCLUSION: A partnership between Ko Awatea and the radiology department at CMDHB, examining capacity and demand for MRI and using multiple QI techniques, successfully and sustainably reduced the MRI waiting list over a two-year period. The innovative solutions to match capacity to demand may be instructive for other radiology departments, and other waiting list scenarios.PMID:34239159
