The volume of outpatient chemotherapy service is increasing year by year. There is a huge demand for beds, and the waiting time after a long holiday can be over 4 hours. Due to the congestion of outpatient chemotherapy, limited number of beds, and unknown waiting time, there are always complaints at the scene of outpatient chemotherapy room. Besides, the overall satisfaction toward the process from checking-in at nursing station to entry to the chemotherapy room is the lowest among outpatient chemotherapy patients. This study performed an in-depth investigation to confirm the problems and introduce the solutions: to promote the scheduling for treatment time to control the number of patients checking-in at nursing station, to flexibly dispatch nursing manpower, to increase the seating area when there is a larger number of patients waiting for receiving chemotherapy, to add 2 seats as the preparation area in each chemotherapy room, and to reduce the bed occupancy time in chemotherapy room. The effectiveness: (1) as many as 96.9% of patients accepting the scheduling for treatment time arrived on time for treatment, and only 3.1% of them needed to wait and the waiting time was less than 20 minutes; (2) as many as 97.4% of patients accepting the scheduling for treatment time were satisfied. Therefore, the objective of the program was achieved, the congestion of outpatient chemotherapy room and work stress of nurses were improved, and the medical efficiency and care quality were elevated.
