INTRODUCTION

1.1 Healthcare Appointment Scheduling System

Today we are living in a digital era. There is a huge revolution in the use of digital
technologies in every field including healthcare. Healthcare is an important part of
human life. There are many ways to improve healthcare services by using different
types of digital systems. Appointment scheduling is one important part of it.
Traditional appointment scheduling is manual and time-consuming. It can cause
problems like long waiting times, double bookings, and patient dissatisfaction. To
solve these problems, digital appointment scheduling systems are developed. They
allow patients to book, cancel, and reschedule appointments easily. Doctors and
hospitals can also manage their time better.
The basic process of healthcare appointment scheduling is shown in Figure 1.1. It
shows how a patient selects a doctor, picks a time slot, and confirms the appointment
through a digital system.

1.2 Importance of Appointment Scheduling Sys-

tems
Appointment scheduling systems have become very important in healthcare. They
help in reducing workload on hospital staff and also improve patient satisfaction.

tients can book appointments using their smartphones. Their work showed that
mobile platforms can make healthcare services more accessible.

2.3 Motivation
In the past few years, healthcare organizations have adopted digital appointment sys-
tems to improve their service quality. The motivation behind developing a healthcare
appointment scheduling system is to reduce waiting time, eliminate manual errors,
and improve the patient experience. Also, with the increasing use of smartphones
and the internet, patients expect easy access to healthcare services.

2.4 Problem Definition

Managing appointments manually causes several problems like long queues, booking
errors, patient dissatisfaction, and inefficient use of doctors’ time. In critical situ-
ations, delays in appointments can lead to serious consequences. Hence, there is a
strong need to develop an efficient and user-friendly healthcare appointment schedul-
ing system.
The system should allow easy booking, cancellation, and rescheduling. It should
also maintain the security of patient information and integrate with other healthcare

PERFORMANCE
ANALYSIS AND
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

The objective of the Healthcare Appointment Scheduling System is to provide an

efficient and secure platform for managing appointments in healthcare facilities. The
system integrates multiple features such as real-time scheduling, patient data man-
agement, and resource optimization. In this chapter, we present the performance
analysis and experimental results of the system.
We evaluate the system based on two key metrics:
1. Response Time: The time it takes for the system to process an appointment
request or modification.
2. System Load Handling: The ability of the system to handle a large number of
concurrent users or appointments without performance degradation.

5.1 Experimental Setup

The system was tested using a set of real-world healthcare data including patient
records, appointment schedules, and availability of healthcare resources (e.g., doctors,
rooms). The experiments were conducted using the following metrics:
- Response Time: Time taken from the moment a user submits an appointment

16
R. C. P. I. T., Shirpur

request until the system responds with the confirmed appointment or an error mes-
sage.
- System Load Handling: The performance of the system when handling multiple con-
current requests from users (e.g., multiple patients trying to book an appointment at
the same time).
We conducted tests using varying numbers of simulated users and different levels
of system load to assess the scalability and responsiveness of the system.

Figure 5.1: Response Time vs. Number of Concurrent Users

5.2 Performance Analysis of the Healthcare Ap-

pointment Scheduling System

5.2.1 Response Time Analysis

The average response time of the system was measured under different load conditions.
The results show that the system maintains a response time below the acceptable
threshold (e.g., under 2 seconds) even when handling up to 500 concurrent users.

17
R. C. P. I. T., Shirpur

This indicates that the system is capable of providing a fast and responsive user
experience, even under heavy load.

5.2.2 System Load Handling

The system was tested for its ability to handle high traffic, with up to 1,000 concur-
rent users simulating real-world healthcare environments. The results show that the
system performs well, with minimal degradation in performance up to 500 concurrent
users. Beyond 500 users, slight delays were observed in processing new appointment
requests, but the system continued to function without major failures.

5.3 Comparative Performance

To better understand the efficiency of the developed system, we compared it with
other appointment scheduling systems. The comparison focused on response time,
user experience, and system scalability. The results demonstrated that our system
outperforms previous solutions in terms of faster response times and higher scalability.

5.4 Conclusion of Experimental Results

The experimental results demonstrate that the Healthcare Appointment Scheduling
System offers high performance in terms of both response time and load handling.
The system can efficiently manage a large number of concurrent users, providing a
smooth and responsive experience for both healthcare providers and patients.
