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?

  1. Whether the combined facility will have enough physical space and equipment to handle the combined patient volume without creating new bottlenecks.
  2. How far the new combined facility will be from public transportation, a convenience factor separate from whether it can handle combined patient volume.
  3. Whether patients prefer the current, smaller clinic locations.
  4. How many years each of the two clinics has been in operation.
  5. What the combined facility will be named.
