Text and translation

Not only did the trial reduce waiting times, but it also revealed where information was being repeated. Staff were entering the same details into two separate forms. Not only was this inefficient, but it also created opportunities for inconsistent records. A single form removed that duplication without changing the information collected. The benefit therefore concerned both speed and consistency. We should describe both outcomes while acknowledging that the trial involved only one team.

لم تقلل التجربة أوقات الانتظار فحسب، بل كشفت أيضًا مواضع تكرار المعلومات. كان الموظفون يدخلون التفاصيل نفسها في نموذجين منفصلين. لم يكن هذا غير كفء فحسب، بل أتاح أيضًا احتمال عدم اتساق السجلات. أزال نموذج واحد ذلك التكرار دون تغيير المعلومات المجمعة. لذلك، شملت الفائدة السرعة والاتساق معًا. ينبغي أن نصف النتيجتين مع الإقرار بأن التجربة شملت فريقًا واحدًا فقط.
