Hospital managers are concerned that some patients with serious conditions wait too long in the emergency department

Question:

Hospital managers are concerned that some patients with serious conditions wait too long in the emergency department before they are diagnosed and treated. How would a positivist approach this problem? How would a constructivist approach this problem? The positivist wants to observe and record emergency patient numbers, waiting and treatment times, staffing levels, bed numbers, and the availability of other resources. The constructivist, on the other hand, wants to talk to the doctors, nurses and ambulance crews, to find out how they feel about working here and where they believe the problems lie. Which approach do you think is more likely to resolve the waiting times problem, and why?
