<![CDATA[The waiting time for hospitalization in internal medicine clinics at Baptis Batu Hospital has not yet reached the minimum service standard indicator.

Reducing the factors that affect the length of time waiting for hospitalization in internal medicine clinics. This study was qualitative with unstructured interviews, FGDs, and observations with 3 participants. Primary data were obtained from time motion study observations and secondary data were obtained from the minimum service standard report (SPM) of Baptis Hospital Batu. The main factor of the length of time waiting for inpatient in internal medicine clinics was the absence of special officers in the action room and the role of inter-unit officers did not communicate well to optimize inpatient waiting time.
