Heath Sciences North in Sudbury [HSN] is widely known for one thing - knee repair surgecy! Over the past two decades this small 60 bed hosplal has averaged 4,600 operations annually. Last year, it had a record year and performed nearly 5,100 operations. A knee repair operation at HSN is performed by one of the 12 full-time surgeons assisted by one of seven part time assistant surgeons. The first operations begin at 7,30 AM each day. Monday through Fiday. Surgeons generally take about one hour to prepare for and perform each repair, and they operate on an average of at most four patients per day. This four patient per day limit on the average number of operations performed per surgeon has been found to be the best operating level for the hospital as it takes into account time the surgeons need for patient exams and consultations, updating medical charts, writing reports, traveling to professional conferences, vacations, and other times when they are performing other duties or are not available to perform surgeries A given surgeon may perform more than four surgeries on a given day, but the average cannot exceed four without having adverse effects on overal hospital operations. The surgeons' day ends at 4pm. Although knee repair operations are performed only five days a week. the remainder of the hospital is in operation continuously to attend to recovering patients. The table below shows the room occupancy plan for the existing system. Each row in the table follows the patients who checked in on a given day. The columns indicate the number of potients in the hospital on a given night. For example, the first row of the table shows that 20 people checked in on Monday and were in the hospital for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights before being discharged on Thursday. By summing the column of the table for Wednesday, we see that there are 60 patents staying in the hospltal that night. The medical facilities at HSN consist of five operating rooms, a patient recovery room, a laboratory, and six examination rooms. The medical focilites at HSN consist of five operating rooms, a patient recovery room, a labcratory, and six examination rooms. Now look at the etfect of increasing the number of beds by 50 percent a. How marty operations could the hospitai perform per day before running out of bed capacity? (Assume operations are performed five diys per week, with the same number performed on each day.? Note: Roond your answer to the nearest whole number. b. What would the utilization of the bed capacity become if the new beds were added and the hospital were to periorm the number of operations calculated in part a? Note: Round your onswers to 1 decimal ploce. 6-1. In aider to fur the beds as calculated in pait a. how many knee repatr operations would need to be performed in each operating toom each din? (Since if rtakes no sentse to pertorm fust a part of an operation, round your answer up to the next whole number is nocessity? e-2. Based on the current scheduling practices, does the hospital have enough opecating room capachy for the number of operatioms required to fill the available beds as calculated in pait a? (Assume that the time to clean and set up an operoting room between operations is insigneticant compared to the timerequired for an operation. Yes No c.3. In order to fill the beds as calculated in part a, how many knee repelt operations would each surgeon need to be available to perfort each day on average? (Since it makes no sense for a surgeon to perform wust a part of an operation, round your answer up to the next whole number if necessarys e4. Aased on the current scheduling practices, does the hospital have enough full time surgeons to perform the operations required to fill the avaliable beds as calculated in part o? c.5. Aased on the cument scheduling practices with the 50 percent addition to bed capacity what is the maximum number of knee repak operations that the hospital could perform each week without exceeding its capacity limits? (Hint: Consider the capacities of the beds, operating rooms and surgeons. e-6. Based on the current scheduling practices, does the hospital have enough overall capacity of surgeons and operating rooms to perforin the operations required to fill the avallable beds as calculated in part a?
