Abstract
This paper describes the AMOC project which aims at the improvement of patient throughput in the outpatient clinics. Indicators describing the workflow were extracted and serve as a base for a so called continuous improvement model. As pro actively monitoring the workflow turned out to be the best tool to optimize the throughput, a computer system was developed to present in a ldquodashboardrdquo like manner the state of the indicators.
