Data Collection Plan
Create a simple survey to ask patients the following question (or something similar): "How would you rate the length of time waiting during today's visit?"
Choose one week each month to randomly ask 50 patients (e.g., flag every other appointment, or the first 50 appointments) to complete the survey at checkout and drop it in a box. Tally the results.
