An healthcare organization (HCO) uses various tools and techniques to increase logistical efficiency, such as measuring the capacity (throughput) of resources like x-ray equipment and exam rooms. Measuring capacity allows an HCO to understand utilization and support decision making about resource allocation and patient flow. (Dobrzykowski & Tarafdar, 2015)

1. Discuss the various tools and techniques used by an HCO to
increase logistical efficiency. Why would an organization need
to measure the capacity (throughput) of the various resources
(x-ray equipment, exam rooms, length of stay, etc.)? How does
capacity utilization support decision making? PLEASE
