3. Intelligent Database Systems Lab Motivation The decision makers of the outpatient orthopaedic clinic are concerned by the importance of reducing patient waiting times while keeping a high proportion of occupied time for medical staff. Indeed, they are receiving many complaints about long patient waiting times.

4. Intelligent Database Systems Lab Objectives The objective of our research consists in studying the relationships and interactions between patient flows, resource capacity (number of consulting rooms and number of nurses) and appointment scheduling rules in order to improve an outpatient orthopaedic clinic performance.
