You are a project manager for the Regional Hospital. The hospital is adding a new cancer wing to its existing facilities. Because of funding from government grants and several significant donors, the hospital is also undertaking facility-wide improvements. You have been asked to lead a project to replace the processes and system used to schedule patients into patient rooms, treatment and diagnostic rooms, and operating rooms throughout the hospital, including the new cancer ward. The goal of the project is to improve the hospital's scheduling capability, with particular attention to maximising the use of the hospital facilities. The scheduling approach needs to satisfy critical patient healthcare needs and patient desires, such as having a private room when their insurance will cover the cost. There are many things to consider when scheduling a hospital facility. These include, but aren't limited to: . . . . The critical need for immediate care Insurance entitlements per patient (for example, private or semi-private room) Is the patient contagious?
