An investigation of wait times and service delivery of outpatient healthcare services in Northern Ireland
Listed in ZivaHub and Deakin Research Online and DMU Figshare — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.17034/32641746.v1
Outpatient healthcare services in Northern Ireland face significant challenges, including prolonged waiting times, increasing demand, and disparities in access to care.
Description
These challenges can lead to negative patient outcomes, inefficiencies in healthcare delivery, and increased health inequalities. This thesis examines the factors influencing outpatient waiting times, patterns of service utilisation, and inequity in access across specialities and demographic groups.
Using a multi-method analytical approach, the research examines patient demographics, appointment attendance, geographic accessibility, and the role of telemedicine in shaping access to outpatient care. The study aims to provide evidence-based insights to inform strategies for improving the equity, accessibility, and efficiency of outpatient specialist services in Northern Ireland.<br><br><i>Thesis is embargoed until 31 December 2030.</i><br>
