 Another application of high clinical value is to increase the frequency of physician-patient contact, via the electronic intervention, and reduce the delay to acquiring critical biometric or clinical data to patients over time. The motivation for this goal comes from several fields in which the shortage of physicians is limiting prompt diagnosis and care. In particular, average wait time for an appointment with a specialist physician, such as a neurologist, is approximately 30 days. In pediatric neurology, the situation is even worse, with an average wait time of 35 days and 39 of childrens hospitals reporting a wait time of 12 months or more for new patients to see a neurologist. Psychiatry experiences the same degree of delay. Psychiatric patients have an average wait of 25 days to first appointment. Finally, even generalist practices are overbooked, leading to lack of reporting of falls in geriatric patients until 2-3 months later internal data or congestive heart failure patients waiting 1-2 months before seeing a physician to report changes in weight or breathing difficulty internal data.
