Non-attendance at outpatient appointment is considered an indicator of poorer access to health care services and may lead to worse health outcomes. It can also increase health care costs for the hospital and waiting times for the patient. I will investigate the causes and consequences of non-attendance at outpatient appointment. By collating a variety of data sets I will be able to use detailed information about patient characteristics, their GP practices and hospital of treatment to provide a fuller understanding of patient outpatient attendance. My work will improve the evidence base for policies to improve attendance and I will use patient travel costs to impute monetary valuations to outpatient appointments. I will investigate the impact of recent government policy to increase patient choice and improve booking systems for outpatient appointments by looking at non-attendance before and after the introduction of the new system. I will also investigate the effects of non-attendance on patient health outcomes including emergency hospital admission and mortality.

没有参加门诊预约被认为是获得卫生保健服务较差的一个指标，并可能导致更糟糕的健康结果。它还会增加医院的医疗成本和患者的等待时间。我将调查门诊预约不就诊的原因和后果。通过整理各种数据集，我将能够使用有关患者特征、他们的全科医生实践和医院治疗的详细信息，以提供对患者门诊就诊的更全面的了解。我的工作将改善改善就诊情况的政策的证据基础，我将使用患者旅行成本来将货币估值归因于门诊预约。我将研究政府最近增加病人选择和改善门诊预约制度的政策的影响，通过研究新制度引入前后的不就诊情况。我还将调查缺勤对患者健康结局的影响，包括紧急入院和死亡率。
