Abstract
Work time management is an important aspect in organizing medical care. Current regulations do not establish recommended time limits for audiologists.
To determine the time spent on audiologist's appointments and performing various diagnostic and rehabilitation procedures.
At the City Audiology Center for Adults (St Petersburg), a time estimate was conducted for 10 audiologists who performed various medical diagnostic and rehabilitation audiology services.
The advisability of standardizing audiologist's appointment duration to 30 minutes was established (for adult patients, without an instrumental audiological assessment or 60 minutes if an assessment (pure tone audiometry, acoustic impedance, otoacoustic emissions) is included). The results of medical appointments for diagnostic tests (acoustic impedance, speech audiometry, nasopharyngeal endoscopy, otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem response (ABR), ASSR, central auditory processing disorders tests, and vestibular tests) and rehabilitation interventions (hearing aid issuance, selection, or fitting of hearing aids) are determined.
The obtained data can be used for inclusion in specialized regulatory documents governing the activities of audiologists and otolaryngologists.
