Work through the simulation titled Resource Allocation from the end of Chapter 8 of your course text. Review the various options in the simulation, then create a solution to the scenario to meet the requirements.

You will need to provide your accounting of each area you will be keeping with the total at the end at the beginning of your post before you provide your discussion. Here is a brief synopsis of the simulation regarding the hospital’s budget and dilemma:

  • One 35-year-old cancer patient who needs significant time with the doctor, medical supplies, tests, and around the clock care. Cost: $135 million
  • Emergency Room operations for daily care and treatment of about 100 people. Cost: $155 million
  • Two senior patients who need hip replacement surgery. Cost: $50 million
  • 10 patients (ranging in age from 18 to 45) receiving assistance in your inpatient drug/alcohol rehab unit. Cost: $100 million
  • An MRI unit that is on the fritz and could die any day. Replacement cost: $170 million

  • Ambulance drive-in area was damaged and needs to be repaired. Cost: $15 million
  • Training needs for nursing staff for certification requirements. Cost: $35 million
  • TOTAL: $700 million.

For this discussion, address the following:

  • What about your facilities?
