According to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website, free internet in the waiting room would completely or somewhat minimize frustration for 60 percent of respondents of a survey by Software Advice.
Other statistic include:
• Patients are split in waiting location preference, with one third preferring an exam room, one third preferring the general waiting room and one third indicating no preference.
• Almost 40 percent of females said they would prefer to wait in a private exam room, compared to almost 30 percent of males.
• Fifteen percent of patients wait more than 30 minutes to see a physician.
• About 20 percent of patients would be willing to pay an extra fee for quicker service.
The average wait times in a primary care office are on the rise. In 2012, Alaska had the shortest average wait time at 16 minutes and 28 seconds, but it was more than a minute longer than the previous year's shortest average wait time of 15 minutes and 26 seconds in Wisconsin, according to a Vitals report.
