Stochastic Appointment Scheduling in a Team Primary Care Practice with Two Flexible Nurses and Two Dedicated Providers

Waiting is common in appointment-based outpatient care: patients experience delays before seeing a nurse and then in the examination room before seeing the doctor. Given that service times are unce...
