It depends on why you're seeing the doctor. What have you looked at? Definitely doesn't have much to do with the level of the doctor. The 1st question has doctors who see many of the same patients at a time. So it can be batch counted. Some doctors see one patient for a few days. So it can only be counted one by one.

What is the maximum number of patients an outpatient doctor can see in a day?

It is definitely different for different conditions in different sections;

For example, in dermatology, some patients do not need complicated examinations, but only need to ask and physical examination to diagnose and prescribe drugs, so that each patient's consultation time is relatively short, in orthopedics, for example, not only need to ask and physical examination, most of the patients need to go to improve the DR, CT or MR and other auxiliary examinations, so that the consultation time is relatively long. When I was a graduate student, according to my hematodermatology and dermatology classmates, their supervisor could see more than 200 patients a day at most, while my supervisor's outpatient clinic saw more than 60 patients a day at most, which was already a lot;

There are some large hospitals that have a limit on the number of patients seen by outpatient doctors, and some hospitals with relatively few patients do not;

In order to ensure the quality and accuracy of medical treatment, some large hospitals have a limit on the number of outpatient visits for doctors, especially famous and old specialists, on the one hand, in order to ensure the quality of medical treatment and diagnostic accuracy, and on the other hand, time and human energy are limited, and the doctors should ensure sufficient rest time; and for some small hospitals, the outpatient clinic is relatively small, and there is no need to limit the number of outpatient visits;

Thanks for the answer.

The maximum number of patients an outpatient doctor can see in a day varies from hospital to hospital, and also with the nature of the department.

For example, in our psychiatric department, it takes at least half an hour or more to see a patient. From listening to the introduction of the condition by the family or the patient to the doctor's explanation of the condition to the patient and the family as well as his recommendations on the treatment, it is impossible to get down without half an hour.

In the case of clinical counseling, the theory is that it is 40 - 50 minutes per person per session, and in fact the initial visit is usually more than an hour.

Personally, I see specialists every morning, Wednesday and Friday, and I usually see only two patients each morning.

Because counseling is an intense mental labor, and even an emotional one as well, I couldn't agree more with a quote from my old friend and fellow Peking University Sixth Faculty Professor Congzhong:

"We are growing up with them with our lives!"

Prof. Zhao Xudong, a professor at Tongji University who has been a friend for many years and is now the vice president of the Chinese Association of Mental Health, also made a classic remark:

"We should go to the doctor as if we were embroidering."

The love, patience and responsibility is palpable!

I often read in the media or WeChat circles that a certain psychiatrist sees more than a hundred patients a day, which is really admirable, and the quality of his treatment is also conceivable.

Western medicine as if there is no limit to the consultation to relatively all give hanging water. Famous Chinese medicine chronic disease one day appointment to receive ten patients, except for emergency evidence, poor is to wait for a rabbit.

As far as Chinese medicine is concerned, 15 people a day is best for concentration, accurate judgment, and a high cure rate. (Personal opinion)

There is no limit on the number of people, but there is a time limit. Some hospitals limit the number of specialists, the actual limit is based on the time, every day or half a day a doctor can only receive how many times, and each doctor to see the patient's speed is not consistent, so the number of each specialist limit is not the same. Generally speaking, if a doctor sees 80 people a day, it can be said that there is no time to drink water and go to the toilet. This is because the average time per person is only 6 minutes. In addition to communicating with patients to understand the condition of the doctor also need to check the prescription. Just 80 people change places, a sit and a stop will take how much time. I used to accompany the professor in a provincial tertiary hospital outpatient clinic, he only look at the patient, all the paper text work I do (now computerized, half paper or paperless), 4 hours in the morning, such as looking at 40 people basically delayed 10-30 minutes occasionally 1 hour Xu, this is the middle of the case without waiting for the patient (more patients).

In the past, when we first started working, hospitals were limited. Each internal medicine outpatient doctor, limited to 40 numbers. Six patients per hour, seven and a half hours a day. Sometimes we couldn't even eat at lunch, and we didn't even have time to go to the bathroom! There were too many patients! At 8:00 a.m., the registration office came to count the number of people. The internal medicine department ran out of numbers every day. The other departments were a little looser.

We're a level II hospital. We have a maximum of 80 people a day in outpatient clinics.

The clinic where I work is the medical checkup clinic, and with about 45 medical staff, I can see about 280 people in a morning! A day 600 or so! Specifically depends on the size of the clinic and the number of medical staff and operational proficiency.

In general, the more people you see, the harder it is to guarantee treatment! Because there is less time for doctors and patients to communicate with each other. Somewhat equivalent to "blind treatment", but also likely to increase the rate of misdiagnosis.
