room assignment inquiry

How to Know Your Room Assignment for the Civil Service Exam Online

Are you qualified to take the Civil Service Exams? Have you already compiled and submitted your application requirements for the appropriate standard of examination, whether professional or sub-professional?

You’re all set and eligible to take the exams after you have completed all of the requirements and paid the required fees. We’re hoping you’ve already studied for the exam as well. However, before you can go to the testing venue, Civil Service Exam takers must complete one more task: generate your room assignment for your examination.

Applicants had to visit the closest Civil Service Commission (CSC) office to search the room number and testing center several years back. However, the procedure has been streamlined this time. You no longer need to go to the CSC office or wait for your notification to come because you can do so online.

Online School and Room Assignment (ONSA) for Civil Service Exams

The Online School and Room Assignment (ONSA) page on the Civil Service Commission’s official website will indicate all of the school assignments and where you can find your assigned room for the exams.

We’ve listed a detailed procedure below on how you can find your room and school assignments through the ONSA:

• Go to the Civil Service Commission’s official website and click the ONSA option on the right side of the screen.
• If you have arrived at the page and the link appears to be offline, then it only means that there are no upcoming schedules available yet. You can keep revisiting the site from time to time to check if the latest schedules have been posted. Take note that the link for the soonest scheduled exam will be available at least 2 weeks before the exam.
• Read the directions carefully before filling out the form with your information.
• When you get to the section where you have to put your middle initial, type it in online. Make sure there are no periods in this section.
• Fill out space with your birthday in the format MM/DD/YYYY.
• Review the form to ensure that the details you submitted are right, including the exam you have to take.
• To create your room assignment, press the button.
• Print the ONSA and carry it with you to your examination day.
• If there are any concerns with the creation of your ONSA, make sure to check your room assignment and schedule at a CSC Regional/Field Office near you at least one week before the Civil Service examination day.

For any issues that you may encounter, you can always visit the Civil Service Commission’s Facebook page or their official website for the latest updates and news.

Room & Roommate Assignment

University Housing makes first-year room assignments starting in June and continuing through the summer. Students joining Living Learning Communities can expect to receive their housing assignments by the end of June. All other incoming students can expect to begin receiving housing assignments the week of July 15. Assignments are made based on the week the housing application is completed.

Ensure a smooth process for receiving your room assignment in university housing by completing these essential steps after submitting your housing application:

Submit Your Housing Application by June 4: Ensure your eligibility for a room assignment by submitting your housing application before the June 4 deadline.

Attend Bearcats Bound Orientation (BBO): Attend Bearcats Bound Orientation by July 12 to facilitate room assignments starting the week of July 15. Even if assigned to a Living Learning Community (LLC), attendance is mandatory for all students. 

Register for at Least 3 Credit Hours by August 1: Finalize your registration for a minimum of 3 credit hours by August 1 to avoid potential cancellation of your room assignment and/or application. It's a crucial step to secure your place in the vibrant UC community. 

Understanding the Roommate Process

Roommate requests are honored whenever possible. Roommates must each request the other person on their Housing Agreement. Each roommate's name and student ID number must be indicated on the Agreement.

Requests that are not mutual cannot be honored.

The sooner your application and your roommate(s)' applications are received, the better your chances of rooming together. Please remember it is not always possible to hold a space for a requested roommate whose application has not been received.

Roommate Assignment Timeline

The first large assignment mailing for fall term will be sent to your UC email account. Check our calendar  for the general timeline. Thereafter, assignment letters are mailed out as soon as assignments are made.

I f you think you should have received an assignment letter but haven't, please call the Univerity Housing office at 513-556-6461 or email us at  [email protected] .

Changing Roommates or Assignments

First, it’s important to note that most roommate relationships are successful (even if the immediate reaction to one another is anxiety). Going into the situation with an open mind and an optimistic attitude can make a big difference. Find more information about how we support building positive roommate relationships.

For more information about requesting a change, please visit our Change or Swap Rooms page .

Room Assignment Process

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with your upcoming room assignment process. W&M separates room assignment processes based on specific groups, including:

• New Fall Undergraduate Students
• New Fall Graduate Students
• New Spring Students (All)
• Returning Students

Be sure also to review important information on the following topics found below:

• Disability & Religious Housing Accommodations
• Two-Year Live-On Requirement
• Housing Contract Release Requests

Housing Waitlist Process

Gender-inclusive housing.

Explore these additional community housing options:

• Living-Learning Communities
• Fraternity & Sorority Communities

Most W&M students can self-select into their specific room for the academic year and have the option to pre-select their roommate(s). Returning students make their room selections during the spring for the upcoming academic year, and new students make their academic year room selections in June. We look forward to having you live with us!

Quick Access

Housing accommodations.

Students approved for disability accommodation must also sign a housing contract before being assigned a space.

Disability accommodations in housing are not automatically renewed for each academic year and must be requested and approved each academic year. An approved housing accommodation does not guarantee that a student can secure on-campus housing, and all upper-level students are subject to the housing lottery unless specifically exempted.

Disability Housing Accommodation Approval for Returning Students

• All disability housing accommodation requests must be made to  Student Accessibility Services (SAS).

Students seeking or receiving a disability housing accommodation approval must sign the housing contract in the Housing Application on the housing portal by the due date to be eligible to participate in the room selection process. 

• Please note if you are a returning student in a residence hall with a window unit, you will not be added to the returning student's early room selection process, as all upper-level halls have cooling systems.

Disability  Housing Accommodation Approval for New Students

• If you require housing accommodations due to a disability, please contact  Student Accessibility Services  (SAS).
• AC Approvals - If you have a disability requiring air conditioning, please contact  Student Accessibility Services  in the Dean of Students Office.
• DO NOT WAIT  until after the New Student Room Selection process ends, hoping to select a space that accommodates your disability, including air-conditioned buildings. A delay in approvals for accommodations will prevent you from participating in the new student early room selection process, where students can select a space that meets their approved disability needs.

Students seeking or receiving a disability housing accommodation approval must sign the housing contract in the Housing Application area of the housing portal by the due date to be eligible to participate in the room selection process. 

There are no guarantees that students will be able to select space that meets their accommodation needs during the traditional new student room selection days at the end of the new student room selection week.

Due Dates For Disability Housing Accommodation Requests

• January 8, 2024 - The deadline for spring 2024 is for residents to submit new requests or adjustments with Student Accessibility Services .
• February 5, 2024 - Deadline for returning students to submit fall 2024 requests with Student Accessibility Services .
• May 13, 2024 - Deadline for new graduate students to submit fall 2024 requests with Student Accessibility Services .
• May 31, 2024 - Deadline for new undergraduate students for fall 2024 to submit requests with Student Accessibility Services .
• These deadlines mean that you must have submitted all documentation needed for an accommodation (this includes single occupancy room accommodations) by the stated due date.
• Requests will continue to be considered after these dates, but accommodations may be delayed based on space and availability.

Important Reminders

Students approved for religious accommodation must also sign a housing contract before being assigned a space.

Disability accommodations in housing are not automatically renewed for each academic year and must be requested and approved each academic year. An approved housing accommodation does not guarantee that a student will be able to secure on-campus housing, and all upper-level students are subject to the housing lottery unless specifically exempted.

• Requests for religious housing accommodations will be considered case-by-case basis according to documented need. Following a thorough review through the Planning, Strategy & Integrative Practices Office , they will make recommendations as appropriate to Residence Life.
• January 8, 2024 - spring 2024 residents only for spring 2024 requests
• February 5, 2024 - returning students for fall 2024 requests
• May 13, 2024 - new graduate students for fall 2024 requests
• May 31, 2024 - new undergraduate students for fall 2024 requests

For questions, please contact the  Planning, Strategy & Integrative Practices Office directly.

Live-On Requirement & Contract Release

• Failure to sign the contract will not release a student from this requirement, and Residence Life will still provide a housing assignment. Our office will follow up with students who are required to live on campus to confirm completion of the housing contract.
• A student is expected to occupy the assigned room unless Residence Life has issued a written notice of approval and/or contract release.
• Students are not considered exempt from the residency requirement if they do not complete a housing application and/or contract. Failure to take possession of the assigned space is not grounds for an exemption to the residency requirement and/or to have associated charges reversed. 

When do housing contracts go live?

• January 29, 2024 – Returning students online housing contract for fall 2024
• May 1, 2024 – New students online housing contract for fall 2024
• November 1, 2024 - New and returning students online housing contracts for spring 2025 only

Does the two-year live-on requirement include transfers?

• Traditional transfers - No, traditional transfer students are not included in this requirement.
• Pathways transfers - Yes, Pathways transfers are required to live on campus for their incoming spring semester and the following fall and spring semesters.

Study Away Programs

If you plan to study away in the fall of your sophomore year/3 rd semester, you will be required to live on campus the spring semester of your sophomore year/4 th semester. If you study away in the spring of your sophomore year/4 th semester, you will not be required to live on campus in the fall of your junior year/5 th semester. 

If you participate in the Semester in Washington D.C. Program and live in the Washington Program student housing in the fall or spring of your sophomore year, this will count toward your two-year live-on requirement.

Can first- or second-year students be released from the housing requirement?

Generally, the answer is no. However, there are limited circumstances under which a first- or second-year student might request release from the housing requirement.

Reasons for contract release eligibility are limited to the following:

• Students who are married
• Students with dependent children who reside with them
• This option is only considered if Residence Life is unable to provide housing that meets the approved accommodation.
• Students who reside full-time during the academic year at the primary residence of the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) within 60 driving miles from the W&M Williamsburg campus.

Can first-year and sophomore students have cars on campus?

• First-years and sophomores may only have cars on campus under special circumstances, requiring prior written approval from Parking Services .

Need to complete a housing contract and application? Head over to the housing portal .

What do I need to know about applying for a release?

Students enrolled full-time are required to live in on-campus housing during their first two years following their high school graduation unless they apply for and are granted a housing contract release.

Before you look at the requirements for each release, there are a few things to remember.

• The deadlines to request a contract release for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years are by add/drop each semester. 
• Meeting the criteria for eligibility for a residency waiver does not mean a student will automatically be granted an approved waiver. It means that their request will be advanced for final consideration.
• A limited number of students will be granted an exemption.
• Do not sign a lease in the community until you have received written approval for your exemption. Signing a lease will not be considered a valid request for a contract release. 

Commuter Release

• Students requesting this release must be living at the legal residence of a mother/father or legal guardian (who established guardianship before the student turning 18) AND
• The residence must be located within 60 driving miles of campus for spring 2024 and the 2024-25 academic year.
• The mother/father or legal guardian must live at this residence 5 out of seven days a week.
• The student may NOT live with another current W&M student unless the current student is a sibling and both live at the legal residence of the mother/father or guardian.

Financial Hardship Release

• When the student has a significant verified need for financial assistance as indicated by the Financial Aid Office that grants, scholarships, loans or other available funding identifiable by the university does not fully fund.
• After a residence hall contract is signed, "extenuating financial circumstances" are defined as situations over which the student has had no control (such as loss of parental support due to death, divorce, loss of employment, catastrophic health issues, bankruptcy), which create a financial hardship and which have occurred after the contract was signed.

Disability Release

• Students who are requesting a release based on a disability need that can be supported with documentation should submit the documentation and petition to Student Accessibility Services .

Other Release Types

• Marriage: The student gets married. A copy of the marriage certificate is required for verification.
• Dependent: The student has a dependent. A copy of the birth certificate is required for verification.
• Study Away: The student is accepted into a William & Mary-approved fall study away program. Verification must be received from the Reves Center or the Registrar. Spring study-away requests can be made during the fall semester.
• Withdrawing: The student is ending their enrollment at W&M, which may include withdrawing from the university, being academically dismissed or transferring to another institution. Verification is required from the Dean of Students Office or the student program.

Additional Information

• Failure to obtain an approved contract release from Residence Life will result in the posting of the semester housing charges to the student. Any first- or second-year student registered for the fall semester who fails to sign up for housing and has not been approved for contract release will automatically be assigned a room and meal plan and will be responsible for those charges unless a contract release request from the housing contract is completed and approved.
• Nonpayment of this charge may result in the cancellation of classes and/or restriction from registering for any additional classes.
• Any student found to have provided false information on the contract release request form or during this process may be subject to university disciplinary action.
• A student is expected to occupy the assigned room unless a written notice of approval and/or contract release is issued from Residence Life. A student is not considered exempt from the residency requirement or released from their housing contract until Residence Life approves a request in writing. Failure to take possession of the assigned space is not grounds for an exemption to the residency requirement and/or to have associated charges reversed.

Contract Release Submission, Evaluation & Decision Process

• Contract release requests must be submitted on the contract release page of the housing application.
• Any contract release request not completed within thirty (30) days of initiation will be discarded.
• Contract release requests will be reviewed based on current policies stipulated in the housing contract.
• Applicants will be notified of the decision in writing.
• Release request decisions are final. There is no appeal process.
• Residence Life generally will respond to initial requests within fifteen (15) business days.
• Contract release requests will not be reviewed after add/drop, both fall and spring semesters.

Where to Submit a Housing Contract Release Request

You will need to log into the housing portal  under the 2023-2024 housing application or 2024-25 housing application (as pertains to your situation) and select the Contract Release Request page to submit a request. 

• Students required to live on campus - High school graduation years 2023 and 2024
• Spring 2024 study away students
• Living-learning communities such as Africana House, Mosaic House and Language Houses
• St Andrews William & Mary Joint Degree Programme students currently at St Andrews who sign the housing contract in the 2024-25 housing application by the published due date
• 1693 Scholars
• Spring 2024 newly admitted Pathways transfer students
• Fraternity and sorority housing
• Roommates of approved early room selection students with a room selection time slot
• Some students will withdraw from the room selection process for various reasons, such as study abroad opportunities and other changes to circumstances. When this happens, reinstated students will be contacted with either a room selection time slot or assignment as these spaces open.
• If you plan to live with a not waitlisted roommate, they will not be able to hold a space for you or pull you into their room while you are on the waitlist. 
• When students are waitlisted, reinstatements are randomly issued as space becomes available, meaning there is no ongoing numbered waiting list. Our assignment system randomly identifies a waitlisted student each time a space is vacated. There is no specific order to the waitlist. 
• After completing the room selection process, reinstated students will be emailed a room assignment as space becomes available throughout the spring and summer. We will continue to assign newly available spaces to reinstated students through August 1, 2024. 
• Wait list students are housed before former students, transfer students (except for designated transfer spaces), and currently enrolled students who did not sign a 2024-25 housing contract by 5pm on February 13, 2024. 
• As a waitlisted student who is not required to live on campus, you are permitted to seek off-campus housing and request cancellation of your housing application without penalty through August 1, 2024, providing there is an active waitlist.
• If you want to begin an off-campus search, we recommend starting with the Williamsburg Off-Campus Housing site.
• To submit a request to cancel your contract, please return to the "Request to Cancel" page of your 2024-25 housing application on the  housing portal , read the information listed there, select that you wish to cancel, and click "Save & Continue" at the bottom of the page. After the Residence Life staff reviews your request, they will send a confirmation email.

Why is there a waiting list for housing?

A waiting list happens when the demand for on-campus housing exceeds our available space.

Housing contract cancellation deadline

The 2024-25 housing contract cancellation deadline is August 1, 2024, for those students who are not required to live on campus if a housing waitlist occurs in the spring of the upcoming year. No cancellation fee would be applied through August 1, 2024, provided no active waitlist exists.

How many people are on the housing waitlist?

It is anticipated that between 400 and 500 students will not be required to live on campus. We expect this number to change (and decrease) daily as students decide on their housing and academic plans.

How does the housing waitlist work?

When students are waitlisted, reinstatements are randomly issued as space becomes available, meaning there is no ongoing numbered waitlist. Our assignment system randomly identifies a waitlisted student each time a space is vacated. There is no specific order to the waitlist. Reinstated students will be emailed a room assignment as space becomes available throughout the spring and summer. We will continue to assign newly available spaces to reinstated students through August 1, 2024. It might be easier to think of the waiting list as a "pool" rather than a "list." 

When will I be placed in on-campus housing?

It is impossible to provide a specific answer to this question. Residence Life will continue to place waitlisted students into housing as space becomes available through August 1, 2024. 

How can I find off-campus housing?

• The Williamsburg Off-Campus Housing website is a good starting place.
• Join the College of William and Mary (W&M) Housing, Sublets and Roommates Facebook group.
• Talk with friends who live off campus — often, they pass leases/spaces on to other students from year to year.
• W&M is planning an Off-Campus Housing Fair. Watch for details on social media.

I thought housing was guaranteed for four years. Is this not true?

In the modern era, W&M has never guaranteed housing for four years.

I don't have a car. How am I supposed to get to and from campus?

WATA (Williamsburg Area Transport Authority) provides free bus transportation to all W&M students. We recommend that as you search for an off-campus location, you consider proximity to a bus stop if you need public transport.

What if I can't afford to live off campus?

There are a wide variety of properties and price points off-campus. We recommend you search for spaces that are suitable to your budget.

ROOM ASSIGNMENTS: March 2024 Civil Service Exam – Professional & Subprofessional Levels

The Online Notice of School Assignment (ONSA) is a documentation or notice that specifies the testing venue or school assignment of an examinee who is scheduled to take the Civil Service Examination.

Our website has compiled an organized list of all the room assignments for all the registered CSE-PPT examinees in all regions who will take the upcoming exam nationwide (check the table below). Meanwhile, examinees can also access their individual ONSA through the official website of the Civil Service Commission (CSC). It is important for examinees to check their assigned testing venue and be present on the examination day to avoid any inconvenience or issues.

Please be reminded that ONSA is released a few weeks before the scheduled examination date. It contains information such as the name of the examinee, the school or venue where the exam will be held, and the room number and seat number assigned to the examinee.

Testing Centers/School Assignments

Examinees’ testing venue or school assignment for the August 2023 CSE-PPT for Professional and SubProfessional levels may be generated using ONSA or the Online Notice of School Assignment. The CSC Regional Offices (ROs) though may also initiate/utilize individual approaches in disseminating information on school assignments of their respective examinees. Examinees may check the availability of ONSA, through the CSC Website at www.csc.gov.ph, a week before the exam.

To use ONSA, examinees should encode/fill in the required data in the corresponding data fields accurately, following the indicated format. Examinees may opt to have a print-out of their Notice of School Assignment using ONSA for their personal reference, but, this is not mandatory and is not a requirement.

The Ultimate Guide to Exam Room Management

• QGenda Staff
• April 17, 2024

Table of Contents

Exam room management: a foundational overview, why is exam room management important, what is the current state of exam room management, what are the risks of sticking with the status quo, who should use an exam room management solution, the key benefits of purpose-built exam room management software, must-have capabilities for an effective exam room management solution, what questions can a purpose-built exam room management solution help answer, best practices for implementing a system-wide exam room management solution.

Clinic and exam room utilization plays a crucial role in patient access and care, as well as in overall hospital operations. Optimizing your clinical capacity not only provides a more cost-effective alternative to expanding your physical footprint, but also allows your organization to increase patient throughput for increased revenue generation. At the same time, more effective exam room utilization reduces wait times for appointments for improved care and a better overall patient experience.

Let’s take a closer look at exam room management so that you can evaluate your healthcare organization’s current approach, identify areas for improvement, and understand what it takes to align patient appointments, provider schedules, and exam rooms for optimized clinical capacity.

How do you define exam rooms, exam room management, and exam room utilization?

An understanding of exam room management starts with defining what constitutes an exam room in a healthcare setting. An exam room is a clinical space or designated office area where patients are seen by healthcare providers for an outpatient appointment. In this context, “outpatient” means that the patient receives medical attention in the clinic or exam room and then leaves without being admitted to the hospital or emergency department.

Exam room management in a hospital, health system, or large medical practice refers to the coordination and scheduling of clinical spaces where patients are examined, diagnosed, and treated on an outpatient basis. Exam room utilization, however, may be defined somewhat differently across health systems and clinical organizations. QGenda defines this metric as the amount of space being used by a provider as calculated by a simple ratio: total patient time over total room time.

To truly optimize clinical capacity , it’s not enough to know that all exam rooms are assigned to providers. You need to know that providers are actually using those exam rooms to see patients during the time allocated to them. Otherwise, although exam rooms may be fully assigned on paper, in reality, they may be sitting idle – resulting in longer wait times for patients and missed revenue opportunities for your healthcare organization.

It’s no secret that healthcare organizations are facing significant financial pressures. High labor and operating costs, slow cash recovery, and low payer reimbursements continue to compress margins. While volumes and overall liquidity are showing some signs of improvement, 1 health systems continue to face an uphill battle as the rate of growth for expenses outpaces that for revenue. 2 Sustained profitability will require that healthcare organizations control costs , optimize resources, and improve patient throughput, while keeping providers satisfied.

A few key factors are converging to make effective exam room management a priority for healthcare organizations today:

When it comes to patient access and throughout, there’s ample room for improvement. According to a 2022 Merritt Hawkins survey, the average wait for an appointment with a physician for new patients is 26 days. 3 The average appointment wait time for a doctor’s visit has increased 8% since the 2017 survey and 24% since the survey was first conducted in 2004 . 4

As an aging and sicker population drives patient demand, there’s a strong likelihood that wait times will continue to increase. By taking action now to optimize exam room utilization, organizations will be better prepared to meet this growing need for patient care in a prompt and efficient manner.

Many organizations are considering growth initiatives to increase ambulatory and clinical capacity — often by expanding their physical footprint. However, construction costs continue to rise, with the national average cost per square foot for commercial new construction of hospitals more than 15% higher today than in 2019 . 5

Construction expenses, along with economic uncertainties, high leasing rates, and substantial build-out costs, are causing hospitals to re-evaluate their approach to growth and expansion. Optimizing exam room utilization is a good place to start — and may prove to be a highly effective way to grow without expanding your physical space.

Because patient appointments are the “front door” to the health system, extended wait times can delay referral visits to specialists, follow-us appointments, and recommended procedures —  all of which generate additional By optimizing exam room utilization, providers at hospitals and health systems can see more patients sooner, and higher patient throughput means more revenue for the organization. 

To increase operating efficiency, improve patient access, and support growth, hospitals and health systems need to optimize their physical space while being able to readily adapt to fluctuations in patient demand. The goal is to minimize “dark rooms” — unoccupied, “lights off” exam rooms that could be allocated elsewhere for additional patient appointments. The problem is that current approaches are not getting the job done, and as a result, most hospitals and health systems are a long way from achieving their clinical capacity goals.

According to research, 72% of health system leaders report operating below the optimal exam room utilization of 80-89%. 6 Instead, most are operating at 60-69% of clinical capacity. Closing this 20% gap is critical for reducing patient wait times and avoiding lost revenue from patients choosing to go elsewhere for care. Given what’s at stake, it’s not surprising that 70% of executives surveyed expressed a sincere interest in solutions that close the clinic and exam room utilization gap. 7

Let’s examine some of the challenges associated with traditional approaches to exam room management.

Reliance on Manual, Siloed Exam Room Management Systems

Clinic and exam room schedules have traditionally been managed in silos across departments and specialties — separate from real-time provider schedules and patient appointment information in the EHR. To make matters worse, these siloed groups are often trying to manage their exam rooms using static templates and manual tools, such as Excel spreadsheets, whiteboards, paper schedules, or other homegrown systems, which are not natively connected to the larger enterprise IT ecosystem.

Unless someone is dedicated 24/7 to manually updating exam room assignments to account for provider schedule changes, approved provider time-off, and fluctuations in patient demand, the static template quickly becomes out of date, and rooms end up sitting idle.

Lack of Visibility into Exam Room Usage and Availability Enterprise-Wide

Because static room templates are not connected to provider schedules in real-time, they don’t show accurate exam room usage and availability when provider schedules inevitably change, often leading to a perceived “lack of space” or room shortage. When rooms appear fully assigned on paper, physicians may insist that they need more space to meet their patient demand. However, when clinic managers walk the floor, they see that many “assigned” rooms are actually not in use.

How can you solve this disconnect between perception and reality? Accurate, real-time visibility into exam room assignments and vacancies across the system requires standardized exam room management processes — backed by purpose-built technology — and a centralized source of truth. 

Additionally, with access to a central room inventory and standardized exam room management policies system-wide, healthcare enterprises can more effectively share space across units, departments, or specialties — a practice that can significantly increase clinical capacity.

Inability to Track and Measure Utilization Trends

Managing clinic and exam room information in static templates and disconnected systems makes it difficult to accurately measure utilization and track trends. After all, room utilization isn’t just about assignments. Even if a room is “assigned” on the template, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually being used by a provider seeing a patient during the allotted time.

To try to determine exam room utilization in this setting, an administrator would need to manually cross reference data across separate systems, including the exam room template, the provider schedule, patient appointments in the EHR, emails, and more — a task that’s simply not feasible in organizations at scale. Even if a health system had the resources to manually assess exam room utilization, it would simply be a “point in time” measurement. The real value comes from continuously tracking exam room utilization metrics over time to monitor trends and uncover opportunities for improvement.

Difficulty Making Proactive Adjustments to Improve Utilization and Capacity

Even when an underutilized room or clinical space is discovered through tedious cross-referencing, it’s often difficult to communicate the required changes to the right people — schedulers, providers, and others — with enough advance notice to actually improve utilization. To truly optimize a previously unused clinic room, the team needs time to be able to re-assign the room to another provider, reschedule patients or schedule new patients, and ensure there are enough nurses and staff available to support the change.

Continuing with the status quo for exam room management could cost your organization more than you realize. Without taking steps to optimize clinical capacity, your organization may experience:

Limited Patient Access

When your hospital or health system is unknowingly leaving clinic and exam rooms idle, patients experience long times, which can cause them to seek care elsewhere. If patients choose to wait for an appointment, the delay in care could lead to less effective treatment plans and poorer prognoses.

Healthcare organizations need centralized visibility into a single source of truth for both real-time exam room usage and availability and provider schedules to optimize clinical capacity and deliver prompt, quality patient care.

Increased Provider Burnout

Patients aren’t the only people negatively impacted by lack of clinical capacity optimization. When your organization is not making the best possible use of exam rooms, providers and staff may sit idle or become overworked. In either case, clinical productivity suffers.

  Scheduling too many providers when room availability or patient demand is low wastes clinical resources and labor spend while contributing to provider frustration. Scheduling too few providers when room availability is low or patient demand is high causes chaos and stress, contributing to burnout and attrition.

Increased Margin Pressure

With gaps in room utilization come gaps in patient care. When administrators lack real-time visibility into which exam rooms are currently in use, clinical space can easily sit vacant. This means providers see fewer patients, and your organization generates less revenue.

On the flip side, when health systems overstaff their departments beyond available room capacity, productivity rates remain low and cost per unit allocations don’t accurately reflect patient demand. Both scenarios have a negative impact on the bottom line, putting additional financial strain on your hospital or health systems.

Furthermore, there’s a heavy cost associated with keeping unused rooms operable, too. Having more clinical real estate than you need means unnecessary equipment, utilities, and maintenance costs that also cut into margins. 

Unnecessary Real Estate Investments

Without visibility into real-time exam room and provider schedules — and intelligent automation to align the two — your organization may perceive a need to expand your physical footprint when you really have underutilized clinical space across your existing facilities. This lack of insight may be leading some hospitals and health systems to take on new construction, leasing, and build-out costs that could be avoided or delayed through more effective exam room utilization.

Certain healthcare organizations benefit most from using an exam room management solution. As far as organization type, large clinic or ambulatory organizations with multiple locations and a large number of exam rooms to manage are the best fit. This is especially true for hospitals, health systems, and academic medical centers, where providers have additional responsibilities that often pull them away from regularly scheduled clinic time, such as being on-call, teaching time, etc. Additionally, in the health system environment, clinical space may be shared – or at least have the potential to be shared – across departments and specialties, furthering the positive impact of centralized room management on utilization and capacity optimization organization-wide.    

At a more general level, if your clinical organization experiences any of the following, then now may be a good time to consider a purpose-built room management solution:

• Your organization does not know current room utilization, nor have visibility into variations or trends by seasonality, location, specialty, provider, etc. 
• Your organization is consistently hearing from providers that they do not have enough space to see more patients. 
• Your organization is experiencing long and/or worsening patient wait times for appointments. 
• Your organization has growth goals that may include upcoming real estate investments.

On that note, in today’s healthcare environment, children’s hospitals across the U.S. are especially tending to see a marked increase in patient demand and long wait times for outpatient appointments. As a result, many children’s hospitals are considering new growth initiatives to increase ambulatory and clinical capacity – leading them to explore if better utilization of existing clinic and exam rooms could be the solution to increase patient access and throughput.

Purpose-built clinic and exam room management software provides centralized visibility into provider, room, and patient appointment information, so you can make more informed, data-driven decisions that make better use of resources and capacity. When you optimize exam room utilization, your organization can see more patients with the resources you already have, allowing you to increase patient access and drive revenue without building or leasing additional space.

Gain Visibility and Plan in Advance

Intuitive reports and dashboards within clinical capacity software provide insight into utilization rates, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement, enabling you to make proactive adjustments to optimize resources and capacity. Plus, standardized, system-wide visibility simplifies trend analysis and informs evidence-based decisions about resource allocation and future real-estate investments to facilitate strategic growth planning.

Enable Space Sharing across Departments

Standardizing exam room management software and processes helps drive consistency and facilitate capacity coordination across departments and locations. When everyone is using the same exam room management platform, rooms can be shared system-wide to further optimize allocation based on patient demand.

Improve Patient Access and Throughput

By understanding exam room availability within the context of provider schedules, your hospital can make better use of existing clinical space, reducing wait times and increasing throughput so that more patients can get the care they need — faster.

Increase Provider and Staff Satisfaction

With exam room management software, providers can easily request clinic rooms based on location, equipment, and other attributes, enabling them to better meet patient demand and deliver quality care for increased efficacy, reduced burnout, and higher satisfaction.

Reduce Administrative Work

Intelligent automation and streamlined workflows help save time and simplify clinic scheduling, cancellation, and add-on requests, eliminating manual updates and tedious cross-referencing for reduced administrative burden. 

Ensure Scalability to Meet Evolving Needs

Standardized software systems can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate growth or change. This adaptability ensures that all hospitals in the system can respond to evolving needs and organizational requirements, such as increased patient demand, consolidation, or growth initiatives.

Today’s healthcare organizations should look for a clinic and exam room management solution that provides:

• Direct connection to real-time provider schedules within the same platform
• EHR integration for automatic population of patient appointment information (Check out QGenda’s listings in Epic Showroom .)  
• Centralized visibility into room utilization, reusable space, and open time in advance
• Automatic release of rooms to make them available when provider schedules change
• Proactive reallocation of clinic and exam rooms directly in the platform
• Advanced room search and other intuitive tools for requesting additional rooms based on location, equipment, and other care attributes
• Actionable reports and dashboards to track utilization and density
• Historical and predictive analytics that look back to uncover systemic issues and look forward to proactively identify potential issues and recommend changes

With a purpose-built exam room management solution that provides these critical features and capabilities , your organization will get the powerful tools and data-driven insights needed to optimize clinical resources and capacity, improve patient access and throughput, and control costs on future real-estate investments.

Why else do health systems need accurate visibility into exam room utilization ? With a purpose-built software platform that provides comprehensive and accurate insight into exam room utilization, your organization can address critical questions such as: 

1. Are we fully utilizing our existing resources, including providers and exam rooms?

The answer helps inform decisions about future resource allocation. For example, if one department is consistently unable to fill their assigned rooms with patients, that space can be reallocated to another department experiencing higher demand to get patients through the door more efficiently.

2. Do we really need to invest in more space, or can we increase patient throughput by optimizing utilization of our existing clinic and exam rooms?

Insights help your organization forecast future space needs and strategically plan growth initiatives, so you can save on unnecessary overhead costs. This proactive approach minimizes risk of over-investment, while ensuring the organization can accommodate growing patient demand.

3. What is overall exam room utilization at each location and within each department — and how does it trend by day, month, season, and more?

The answer provides critical insight into where you can schedule new providers, while also helping to identify opportunities to reallocate rooms more optimally in the future for improved clinic and exam room utilization.

4. What is the historical and upcoming room utilization rate by provider?

The answer shines light on which providers have too many rooms allocated to them and which have too few, helping you address inequities and misalignments that can impact patient access. 

5. What rooms are available for makeup clinic sessions or for permanent assignment for new providers?

The answer helps ensure you’re minimizing unused room time and able to get more patients through the door sooner.

Implementing any system-wide software solution in the healthcare setting , including an exam room management system, is inherently complex. New technology needs to fit seamlessly within the complicated healthcare IT ecosystems, and target users need to embrace the solution and use it consistently — a big ask in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where people are already stretched thin. The good news is there are proven steps you can take to help ensure a smooth and seamless implementation and widespread user adoption.

Start with System-Wide Provider Scheduling

Effective exam room management requires centralized visibility into real-time provider schedules, room assignments, and patient appointment information. With a system-wide platform that unifies provider scheduling and exam room management — and integrates with the EHR — your organization can centrally coordinate and optimize the use of clinic space based on the most up-to-date data.

A schedule-first platform enables the following workflow:

• Providers submit schedule changes, including PTO requests, shift changes, and meeting or teaching time that will take them out of clinic
• Room inventory is automatically updated when provider schedule changes are approved, releasing available rooms for reallocation
• Providers can request open clinic space based on location, equipment, and other care attributes to see more patients

This unified approach makes it simple to identify reusable space in advance and make proactive adjustments to improve clinic and exam room utilization.

Establish a Governance Model

When implementing a system-wide provider scheduling and exam room management platform, it’s important to have a proper governance model in place to oversee the process and sustain the system post-go-live. A governance model, which can be thought of as an organization chart for your solution, establishes a chain of command so that everyone is clear about roles and responsibilities both for implementation and ongoing system management. That way, providers and staff know exactly who they should go to with questions, issues, or input.

Putting an effective governance model in place involves the following steps:

• Assemble a cross-functional governance team with representatives and decision makers from HR, IT, Finance, and Clinical Operations, including medical leaders, to ensure buy-in and drive effective decision making.
• Organize a governance sub-committee that meets more frequently and has more frequent involvement to oversee the implementation and post-launch system management.
• Establish a cadence for monitoring and reporting on implementation progress.
• Define clear policies for ongoing system management to better ensure sustained success.

Make Change Management a Priority

Every system implementation process, including deployment of schedule-first exam room management software, should incorporate change management initiatives to address employee resistance and foster widespread buy-in through proactive communications and comprehensive training. Change management should start before implementation and continue after go-live to maximize adoption rates and accelerate return on investment.

Here are some actions your organization can take to optimize the effectiveness of your change management program: 

• Solicit provider and administrator feedback and answer questions early and often through surveys, open forums, video conferences, and internal blogs.
• Communicate the vision for the system and how it will benefit providers, patients, and the overall organization.
• Continue to build awareness and enthusiasm via emails, intranet, collaboration tools, mobile messaging, and other channels to report progress, highlight system benefits, and celebrate achievement of key milestones.
• Conduct personalized, role-based training via interactive workshops, online tutorials, hands-on sessions, and live help desk support.
• Request feedback post-go-live to address usability concerns, foster creative problem-solving, and facilitate collaboration with vendors to optimize system performance.

MoSCoW Method: An Organizational Tool

What is the moscow method.

Prioritising is often challenging. Particularly when it comes the implementation of new ideas and/or technologies. Everyone in an organisation always wants everything to be done right away and that is practically impossible. There are several tools available to make prioritisation easier. The MoSCoW method is one them.

Dai Clegg from the software company Oracle invented MoSCoW Method. The method labels each requirement, making it easier to prioritise.

Even though the origin of this prioritize method is in software development, it is also highly applicable for education, as a time management and organizational tool for long term assignments/projects/Exhibition, etc. With MoSCoW Method, requirements are determined for the result of the project or product.

The MoSCoW Method is about setting requirements by order of priority. The most important requirements need to be met first for a greater chance of success.

The MoSCoW Method is an acronym made up of the first letters. The two Os have been added to make the word ‘moscow’ readable, they don’t have any meaning themselves. The M stands for ‘ Must haves ‘, S for ‘ Should haves ‘, C for ‘ Could haves ‘ and W for ‘ Won’t haves ‘ or ‘ Would haves ‘ .

Requirements

It’s a good idea to first specify the requirements before starting the MoSCoW Method. When determining the requirements, you should take into account what is important [to successfully complete a project]. The project requirements are divided into one of the following categories:

M – Must Haves

These are about the minimal requirements that are determined in advance that the end-result has to meet. Without meeting these requirements, the project fails and the product won’t be use-able. They are a necessity for a workable product and there is no alternative. The ‘Must haves’ are essential.

S – Should Haves

These are additional and much desired requirements that have a high priority but are not essential for a usable end product. The product will be usable even if these requirements aren’t met. When they are met, they will only add to the value of the product. Depending on the available time, you can always return to these requirements at a later time.

C – Could Haves

These requirements can be considered if there’s time left. If not, it’s no problem and will not have a negative effect on the final result. The ‘Could haves’ have a lower priority than the ‘Should haves’. This option will only be included if there really is more than enough time to make it work. This category is also referred to as ‘nice to have’; they’re more a wish than an absolute requirement.

W – Won’t Haves (and would haves)

These are about wishes for the future that are often impossible to realize or cost a lot of time. If it’s simply not possible, it’s best not to waste any energy on it. If it is achievable, then a lot of time (and money) will have to be invested and it’s labelled a ‘Would have’. ‘Would haves’ are often followed upon at a later stage after the initial project is finished.

Correctly applying and sticking to the MoSCoW Method will lead to a clear way to complete a project. Everyone involved with the project will know what needs to be done first, when it has to be finished and why it’s important. By assigning priorities to requirements, a project becomes more manageable and it’ll be easier to meet the deadline.

Development and support of a project is also made easier by initially ignoring less important requirements. By focusing on the key requirements, you end up with a sell-able product that meets the minimum requirements. That way, must haves become unique selling points, which will benefit the buyer.

It’s Your Turn

What do you think? How might you apply the MoSCoW Method in your school or with your class? How might the method help students stay on track?

Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin Paperback – May 18, 2023

The story of western correspondents in Russia is the story of Russia's attitude to the west. Russia has at different times been alternately open to western ideas and contacts, cautious and distant or, for much of the twentieth century, all but closed off. From the revolutionary period of the First World War onwards, correspondents in Russia have striven to tell the story of a country known to few outsiders. Their stories have not always been well received by political elites, audiences, and even editors in their own countries-but their accounts have been a huge influence on how the West understands Russia. Not always perfect, at times downright misleading, they have, overall, been immensely valuable. In Assignment Moscow , former foreign correspondent James Rodgers analyses the news coverage of Russia throughout history, from the coverage of the siege of the Winter Palace and a plot to kill Stalin, to the Chernobyl explosion and the Salisbury poison scandal.

Editorial Reviews

“ Assignment Moscow exposes how the Moscow correspondent has had to adapt to multiple manifestations of censorship, or compete with state-run media, the severity of which has ebbed and flowed with changes in regime.” ― History Today “Rodgers's narrative rests on an enormous number of articles in Anglo-American media, books by and about journalists, and his own interviews with many Moscow correspondents.” ― Foreign Affairs Magazine “Rodgers retains his focus on the correspondent's interactions with Russia and Russians, rather than being sidetracked into discussions of normative values or political controversy. This approach prepares the reader for the conclusion, which celebrates the openness and curiosity of the best Russia correspondents, reminding the reader that what they have just read is a history not of Russia but of how Western correspondents have told Russia's stories. Differentiating the two is an important and hitherto neglected task but one that James Rodgers has achieved masterfully.” ― Journalism “Reporting from Russia has never been easy; Rodgers vividly captures the changing fortunes of Moscow correspondents over the past hundred years, as they penetrated the mysteries of life in Russia and brought them to our newspapers and screens. Some were duped, some were fellow-travellers or spies; most battled against censors and blank-faced politicians; all have helped to shape our understanding of the world's biggest country.” ― Angus Roxburgh, former Moscow correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times and Economist “Writing about journalism in Russia since the revolution, James Rodgers rightly emphasises that to understand Russia you have to talk to people of all kinds. But he argues that even correspondents who knew the language and the history found it hard to report dispassionately because of official obstruction and their own emotional involvement.” ― Rodric Braithwaite “A highly original, engrossing and accessible book, Assignment Moscow stands out among journalistic accounts of Russia for its subtlety, humility and historic scope. It tells the story of British and American journalists who aimed to throw light on Russia from Lenin to Putin, and in the process illuminated the West itself.” ― Arkady Ostrovsky, Author of The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the age of Fake News, Winner of the 2016 Orwell Prize “It is hard to believe that in the torrent of books published on Russia each year, that one could come along as original and valuable as Assignment Moscow. One comes to appreciate the service of our reporting men and women in Moscow. For all their fallibilities, without their dedication, we wouldn't have half the understanding of Russia that we have today, imperfect as it will always be. We therefore owe them – and especially Rodgers as journalist, teacher, analyst and cataloguer – a huge debt.” ― James Nixey, Chatham House “[Rodgers'] experience has been wisely distilled in this fair-minded, balanced and perceptive exploration of the problems reporters have faced in trying to report from Russia.” ― British Journalism Review “Reveals how journalists' experiences reporting from Russia for the past 100 years mirrors its changing attitude to the West.” ― The Journalist

About the author

James rodgers.

James Rodgers writes books on international affairs, especially armed conflict. His work has a focus on how the stories of those events are told to the world. Much of his writing draws on his own experience reporting from the former Soviet Union and the Middle East as a journalist from the 1990s onwards. During his BBC career (1995-2010), James completed postings in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza where, from 2002-2004, he was the only international correspondent based in the territory. His numerous other assignments included New York and Washington following the September 11th attacks; reporting from Iraq in 2003 and 2004 during the United States-led invasion; and covering the wars in Chechnya.

James now lectures in International Journalism at City, University of London. He still works as a journalist, too--contributing work to the BBC, NBC Think, Forbes.com, Monocle Radio, and others.

Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia From Lenin to Putin

Reviewed by maria lipman, by james rodgers.

Rodgers, a British journalist who has worked in Russia at various times since the 1990s, writes about the plight of the English-speaking correspondents who have covered Russia, going all the way back to the Russian Revolution in 1917. That their task was not easy is hardly surprising, yet Rodgers repeatedly emphasizes the difficulties they faced (the word “difficult” is used to describe their job at least two dozen times): strict censorship (foreign journalists were forced to clear their dispatches with Soviet authorities until 1961), travel restrictions, limited access to senior officials and ordinary people alike, and the government’s suspicion that Anglo-American correspondents were spies in disguise. Even Rodgers’s discussion of the American journalist Hedrick Smith—who, despite the restrictions, famously managed to produce exceptionally rich and insightful coverage of the Soviet Union and its people in the 1970s—is reduced to Smith’s reflections on how difficult his work was. Rodgers’s narrative rests on an enormous number of articles in Anglo-American media, books by and about journalists, and his own interviews with many Moscow correspondents. He quotes some of them as saying that journalists knew and understood Russia better than diplomats or policymakers did. This may or may not be true. Unfortunately, Rodgers doesn’t give the diplomats and policymakers a chance to respond.

St. Louis Cardinals Recall Jordan Walker, Designate Tommy Pham For Assignment

Sam connon | 12 hours ago.

• St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals have recalled outfielder Jordan Walker from Triple-A Memphis, the team announced Friday afternoon.

To make room for Walker, the Cardinals designated outfielder Tommy Pham for assignment. St. Louis reportedly placed Pham on waivers Thursday, and while he was allowed to remain on the active roster in the meantime, Walker's arrival officially marked the end of his reunion with the Cardinals.

Walker is starting in right field and batting seventh in Friday's series opener against the New York Yankees.

Roster Move: OF Jordan Walker has been recalled from Memphis (AAA). OF Tommy Pham has been designated for assignment. pic.twitter.com/dMCRXNpW2f — St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) August 30, 2024

Entering the 2023 season, Walker was pegged as the No. 1 prospect in the Cardinals' farm system and the No. 4 prospect in all of baseball. He made good on that praise by batting .276 with 16 home runs, 51 RBI and a .787 OPS across 117 games his rookie year, but he only managed to post a -0.1 WAR due to his lackluster defensive metrics.

While Walker started 2024 on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster, it didn't take long for him to get sent down to the minors. Walker was batting just .155 with a .497 OPS when he got demoted on April 24, and he wouldn't return to the big leagues until four months later.

Walker appeared in four games for St. Louis earlier this month, going 1-for-11 with a walk in that span. On the whole this season, the 22-year-old is batting .145 with zero home runs, four RBI, a .460 OPS and -0.8 WAR.

In 84 games with Triple-A Memphis this year, Walker is hitting .263 with nine home runs, 37 RBI and a .753 OPS. He had taken his game to the next level since his most recent demotion, though, batting .348 with an .835 OPS over his last six appearances.

Pham, meanwhile, is looking to land with a new team before the Sept. 1 postseason roster eligibility deadline. The 36-year-old hit .266 with a .710 OPS in his 70 games with the White Sox earlier this season, then saw his batting average and OPS drop to .206 and .653, respectively, across 23 games with the Cardinals.

Still, Pham is a .313 hitter with an .846 OPS in his playoff career, posting up six home runs, 10 RBI and six stolen bases across 31 appearances.

Pham can still be claimed off waivers, or he will be released and attempt to sign with another club in the next few days.
