A Rapid Assessment of the Determinants of length of wait in the Ministry of Health Healthcare Facilities

BACKGROUND FOR THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

The Ministry of Health has historically received complaints on the reportedly long waiting time that patients face at health facilities. In fact, the predominant result of independent national customer servicesurveys for the public health sector revealed that while users of healthcare facilities were satisfi ed with the overall level of customer service, the main cause for their dissatisfaction was with waiting time.

PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

This is a Request for proposal for a rapid assessment of the determinants of length of wait in Ministry of Health healthcare facilities in order to inform decision-making on how to address the causal factors. The objectives of this RFP are to:

• Provide baseline information for waiting time and waiting lists for the government health sector.

• Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the diff erent factors that impact on waiting time in ambulatory and inpatient care settings and provide recommendations on key strategies to adopt towards reducing waiting time in the public health sector.

• Identify service-delivery problems and tests new programmatic solutions to these problems.

• Formulate and apply mathematical modelling with otheroptimizing methods to develop recommendations regarding health service planning and logistics for MOH decision-makers.

• Apply operations research in healthcare planning at asystemic level as it relates to patient fl ow, information fl ow, capacity planning, or resource allocation.

• Translate proposed solutions into material solutions/recommendations including cost estimates and implementation strategies.
