Paramount Hospital is known for hernia repair! In fact, that is the only operation it performs, and it performs a great many of them. Over the past two decades this small 90 -bed hospital has averaged 7,000 operations annually. Last year, it had a record year and performed nearly 7,500 operations. A number of notable features in their service delivery system contribute to its success: 1) They accept only patients with uncomplicated external hernias, and uses a superior technique developed for this type of hernia during WWII., 2) Patients are subject to early ambulation, which promotes healing. (Patients literally walk off the operating table and engage in light exercise throughout their stay, which lasts only 3 days, and 3 ) It is a country club atmosphere, gregarious nursing staff, and built-in socializing make a surprisingly pleasant experience out of an inherently unpleasant medical problem. Regular times are set aside for tea, cookies, and socializing. All patients are paired up with a roommate with a similar background and interests. The medical facilities at Paramount consist of five operating rooms, a patient recovery room, a laboratory, and six examination rooms. Paramount performs, on average, 150 operations per week, with patients staying at the Hospital for 3 days. Although operations are performed only 5 days a week, the remainder of the hospital is I operation continuously to attend to recovering patients. An operation at Paramount is performed by one of the 12 full-time surgeons assisted by one of seven part-time assistant surgeons. Surgeons generally take about one hour to prepare for and perform each hernia operation, and they operate on four (4) patients per day. The surgeons' day ends at 4:00 pm, although they can expect to be on call every 14th night and every 10th weekend. Patients arrive a day prior to surgery for prep (pre-op exams, paperwork, samples and tests), with surgery on day 2 and recovery and exit on day 3 . Future Plans The management of Paramount is thinking of expanding the hospital's capacity to serve considerable unsatisfied demand. To this effect, the vice president is seriously considering two options the first involves adding one more day of operations (Saturday) to the existing five-day schedule, which would increase capacity by 20 percent. The second option is to add another floor of rooms to the hospital, increasing the number of beds by 50 percent. This would require more aggressive scheduling of the operating rooms. The administrator of the hospital, however, is concerned about maintaining control over the quality of the service delivered. He thinks the facility is already getting very good utilization. The doctors and the staff are happy with their jobs, and the patients are satisfied with the service. According to him, further expansion of capacity might make it hard to maintain the same kind of working relationships and attitudes. The below table shows the number of operations with 90 Beds ( 30 patients per day). Each row in the table follows the patients who checked in on a given day. The columns indicate the number of patients in the hospital on a given day. For example, the first row of the table shows that 30 people checked in on Monday and were in the hospital for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. By summing the columns of the table for Wednesday, we see that there are 90 patients staying in the hospital that day. Although financial data are sketchy, an estimate from a construction company indicates that adding bed capacity would cost about $100,000 per bed. In addition, the rate charged for the hernia surgery varies between about $900 and $2,000 with an average rate of $1,300 per operation. The surgeons are paid a flat $600 per operation. e.
