A hospital administration is considering consolidating two separate outpatient clinics into a single larger facility, arguing that the consolidation will reduce average patient wait times because a larger combined staff can be flexibly assigned to whichever service is experiencing higher demand at a given time.
Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in evaluating the administration's argument?
- Whether the combined facility will have enough physical space and equipment to handle the combined patient volume without creating new bottlenecks.
- How far the new combined facility will be from public transportation, a convenience factor separate from whether it can handle combined patient volume.
- Whether patients prefer the current, smaller clinic locations.
- How many years each of the two clinics has been in operation.
- What the combined facility will be named.
