Shared CT scanner capacity

Is reporting capacity, portering or scanner time holding up emergency and ward requests?

The question tested

Emergency and ward requests join a shared CT pathway. The comparison tests an additional radiologist against the same fixed simulation seed.

Show how emergency and inpatient demand compete for a single diagnostic scanner and reporting team.

Current model assumptions

  • Emergency and ward requests are separate start points so the replay shows two streams merging into one CT queue.
  • Radiology reports clear 65% of requests and admit 35%, giving the dashboard two terminal outcome counts.
Basis and limitations: Illustrative demonstration using synthetic demand, durations and costs. It does not represent a named hospital or a client engagement.
