Palms Coast Hospital is designing a new building and has determined the closeness ratings between the eight departments that must be located on the ground floor of that structure. These ratings are as follows:

a. Palms Coast considers it absolutely necessary that Admitting be located next to what?

b. What departments should the Emergency Room not be next to?

c. Palms Coast is considering a ground floor layout in which the main elevators are next to the pharmacy. Which other departments would be more important neigh- bors to the main elevators?
