Abstrakt: Background & Aim:Patient treatment actually involves a series of activities prior to and at the time of anti-rabies vaccination (ARV) treatment. This study highlights the total estimated time during vaccine delivery. The entire method consists in fragmentation of the process into essential activities and involves the measurement of each specified activity by trained observers using synchronised stopwatch. The study aims at calculating the time by healthcare personnels in vaccine administration. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in ARV (Outpatient Department) OPD in a tertiary care hospital in the eastern part of Odisha involving all patients attending ARV OPD during 1st July 2021- 31st August 2021. Results: The present study was conducted with 1440 participants i.e., 625 males (43.4%), 811 females (56.3%) and 4 trans-genders (0.3%).Majority of cases i.e., 419 (29.1%) were less than 15 years of age and the most common attacking animal were dogs followed by cats. The maximum time spent by the patients was following the immunoglobulin administration till the procurement of medications i.e., 38.67 ± 6.98 minutes. Conclusion: The patients were tracked and found that time motion was dependent on number of factors like at any given point on number of patients, serious patients, the time taken by doctors required to take the detailed history was of course significantly associated with the longer overall time motion.
