It also proposes a simple approach to illustrate the effect of poor care in a maternity hospital. Applying Queue Theory with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. In addition, it provides evidence that non-emergency patients, and also because of the lack of useful information in the primary care process, contribute to prolonged delays for all patient classes.
