Health departments have been encouraging the development of EBP so the most effective health care is being used and so the best benefits come out of it (Xiaoshi, 2008, p.6-12). This encouraging is showing to be effective because there are many cases of using evidence-based practice in the medical field.

This highlights the importance of the healthcare industry, and more importantly the heart of the health care system which is its scheduling practices. Scheduling appointments is considered the heart of a medical practice because it directly correlates to the amount of capacity a healthcare business has at its disposal. Long wait times not only impact patient satisfaction but also the quality of care. This case study focuses on a Pediatrician office that has placed “customer focus” at the forefront of its scheduling system and has garnered a number of “grateful patients” because of their scheduling practices.

Academic and Professional Goals Alan M. Gavami Walden University Dr. Miriam Ross Academic and Professional Goals Currently, I make positive societal change with one patient at a time by showing genuine care and understanding of how they are different with different needs. This is one reason of several that I chose Walden University, since Walden has a keen awareness and teaching on multicultural competence, I find this to be Paramount. Managers in today’s healthcare environment are much more involved in management, planning, cost containment and efficiency, while providing a better work environment for the hospital staff, and better care for the patients and their family. The skills I expect to gain through getting my master’s with Walden University should give me the ability to recognize and understand problems we face on daily bases in the healthcare system. With this knowledge I plan to work toward a more cost effective and delivery system with healthcare provided to the patient population.
