Capital project section two
Executive summary There is an overuse of the hospital MRI machine at the facility. The MRI machine needs to be utilized for multiple specialties including emergencies, inpatients, gamma knife, orthopedics, sports medicine. The ultimate recommendation is to add an extremity MRI scanner to the facility to relieve some of the usage of the main MRI machine. Providing this relief benefits in many aspects. The addition will provide an opportunity to expand the sports medicine and orthopedics department. A premier department that is recognized as elite, but this is just one aspect of improvement. Other improvements include the inpatient length of stay. The inpatient length of stay is above benchmarks due in part to the waiting times of the main MRI machine. This increase in length of stay also affects patient satisfaction scores. Physicians have also expressed frustrations due to the waiting times of scans to be done for diagnostic purposes and have opted their office patients to utilize the MRI scans in other departments. Retention of physicians who bring in patients is an important factor to consider in the proposed expenditure. Retention of physicians’ means retention of admissions of whom are sent bu their respective physicians. There is also the potential for liability issues related to the wait times and potential delayed acute diagnosis of medical conditions due to the wait times. This is an opportunity to relieve some of those concerns with an addition of an asset that can benefit the organization. The addition is also aligned with the organizational goals of providing high quality patient care while being the most efficient care provider to its community.
The prior discussion evaluated the need for the item and multiple points supporting the expenditure. In this discussion, key stakeholders will be identified and
