The comprehensive regional hospital discussed in the section “Resource Planning for Service Providers†performs bypass surgery at its state-of-the-art facility. Similar to aneurysm repair, this procedure also requires the patient to proceed through seven levels of treatment as seen in the bill of resources in Figure 11.21(a). The amount of time it takes for a patient to move from one level of treatment to the next follows. The projected number of completed by-pass procedures over the next 15 days is shown in Table 11.21. Consider three critical resources of nurses, beds, and lab tests that are required at each level of treatment as shown in Table 11.22. a. Use the above information to calculate the daily resource requirements (similar to gross requirements on a material record) for each resource to treat bypass patients at this regional hospital. b. What are the 15-day resource requirements to treat both aneurysm patients and bypass patients?
