Time to ship distribution

Referral received to first shipment

Distribution of days from referral to shipment.

Half of all referrals ship within 5.8 days, but the slowest ten percent take 10.8 days or more. The tail, not the average, is what patients feel.

Median time to ship over time

Weekly median, in days

Weekly median days to ship.

A rising median with flat volume usually means a single stage lost capacity rather than demand growing.
