Current Page Number again. 2:8-18 (Hospital expansion problem) Mt. Sinai Hospital in New Orleans is a large, private, 600-bed facility, complete with laboratories, operating rooms, and x-ray equipment. In seeking to increase revenues, Mt. Sinai's administration has decided to build a 90-bed addition on a portion of adjacent land currently used for staff parking. The administrators feel that the labs, operating rooms, and x-ray department are not being fully utilized at present and do not need to be expanded to handle additional patients. The addition of 90 beds, however, requires a decision as to how many beds should be allocated to the medical staff for medical patients and how many to the surgical staff for surgical patients.
