The Fort Belvoir Community Hospital outpatient pharmacy has changed its ticketing procedure to simplify the pick-up process for 40,000-plus prescriptions it fills each month.

After signing in on a sheet of paper in one of the four offices, students waited to be seen. Sometimes they were then referred to another office, where they got in the back of the line.

3 Challenges Hospital Face In Creating Better Patient Experiences
Background: In Western North Carolina, Buncombe County covers 600 mountainous square miles. Out of the county’s 238,000 citizens, 120,000 utilize the county’s Social Services and Public Health departments. In 2006 Buncombe County identified a major strategic goal: combining its Social Services and Public Health departments into a single, integrated location. This would allow the county to more efficiently utilize their resources and more effectively link clients to the services they needed, and hopefully achieve better outcomes. Improving these outcomes would serve to meet another strategic goal for the county: significantly decreasing public health costs across the whole community.
