Service Time
The duration a patient spends in active consultation or service delivery.
Service time (also called handling time or consultation time) is the interval from when a patient is called to when they are discharged from the consultation room. It directly determines queue throughput — shorter service times allow more patients to be seen. MOVO-X analytics distinguish service time from wait time, enabling managers to understand whether long visits are due to queue backlog or unusually complex consultations.
