A newly implemented structured reservation pathway (PRP) at Renji Hospital in Shanghai has improved access to specialist appointments for patients. Analysis of 58,271 applicants over two years revealed an overall pass rate of 34.8%, with significant demographic influences on outcomes. Age emerged as the primary predictor for approval through a random forest model with 92.31% accuracy. The PRP not only enhances patient care but also optimizes resource allocation, providing a model for others in healthcare.
