A family-practice medical clinic employs two receptionists, three nurse clinicians, and one physician. The receptionists (RSs) have been trained to screen patients with regard to whether they should see a nurse clinician (NC) or the physician (MD). There are, of course, some errors, so the NCs see some patients who must then go and see the MD. The accompanying diagram shows the flow of patients. arrival rate of patients at the receptionists fraction (p) who go from the RSS to the NCs fraction (p2) of the NC patients who must also see the MD service rate of a RS service rate of an NC service rate of an MD standard deviation of RS service times standard deviation of NC service times standard deviation of MD service times PIR R₁ = 30/hr.

The three queues are managed independently with a first-come, first-served priority at each queue. That is, the two receptionists share a queue on a 'first RS available basis. Similarly, the three NCs share a queue on a 'first NC available' basis. Assume that all interarrival times for patients arriving at any of the three queues in this clinic have coefficient of variation equal to 1. Note that there are three categories of patients based on the route or path that patients take through the clinic. Category 1 patients see a receptionist followed by a nurse clinician. Category 2 patients see a receptionist followed by the physician. Category 3 patients see a receptionist followed by a nurse clinician followed by the physician. Consider the clinic in steady state. In answering all questions, unless instructed otherwise, report two significant figures after the decimal point.
