Process Condition-Action Diagram Flowcharts. Clinics Subsystems

The purpose of the Clinics Subsystem 'Manual' condition-action flowcharts is to offer an easily readable graphic representation of the major processes which make up an outpatients clinic system. The detail is of such a nature as to depict all clinic operations except actual details of tasks, so that what the physician actually does in the way of treatment for each patient, or how the medical outprocessing clerk actually fills in specific forms, is beyond the scope of these charts. The processes charted herein represent methods being employed in an outpatient clinic modeling environment. As such, they are not necessarily indicative of general practices currently in use in any single military hospital. The modeling effort represents an attempt not only to update the general efficiency and quality of outpatient health care delivery, but also to try to parallel the operating conditions expected in the new Walter Reed facility.
