Congratulations to Edmond Ramly, PhD (Assistant Professor), Sandra Kamnetz, MD (Clinical Professor), Elizabeth Perry, MD (Clinical Associate Professor), Brian Arndt, MD (Professor, CHS), and Jennifer Lochner, MD (Associate Professor, CHS) on being published in the January/February 2023 edition of Annals of Family Medicine! “Primary Care Patients’ and Staff’s Perceptions of Self-Rooming as Alternative to Waiting Rooms” shares the results of a study conducted to determine the patient and staff perceptions of a process allowing patients to find their own exam rooms after check-in during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that self-rooming can be implemented without expensive technology or specially designed buildings and that primary care patients and staff found self-rooming to be an acceptable alternative to waiting rooms.
Annals of Family Medicine is an open-access, peer-reviewed research journal serving the needs of scientists, practitioners, policy makers, and the patients and communities they serve. The journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge essential to understanding and improving health and primary care and is a collaborative effort between seven family medicine organizations that has been in publication since 2003.
