Summary: This paper introduces the problem of scheduling a set of coupled-task jobs on parallel identical machines with the objective of minimizing makespan in the context of patient appointment scheduling. The majority of these problems are proven to be (strongly) NP-hard, but optimal scheduling policies are provided for two settings consisting of identical jobs. An important result is that the existence of a (2-ε)-approximation algorithm for the problem implies P=NP, improving a recently proposed bound for the open-shop counterpart.
