The CHOP Day Medicine (DM) outpatient infusion center provides more than 50 distinct infusion services, catering to children aged 0 to 16 years and drawing referrals from various specialties. In light of the growing demand for new appointments, the introduction of additional infusion services, and an anticipated increase in visits, establishing an optimal scheduling system is crucial to manage the forthcoming changes while maintaining the same standard of care.
