Table 2.
| a. This table illustrates the results of the base case scenario, the mean patient wait times resulting from switching zero to five beds from Fast Track to Flex Track beds and for the traditional All Access policy. The 95% confidence intervals can be found in the parentheses. The lowest overall mean wait time resulting from switching zero to five beds from Fast Track to Flex Track was achieved with 3-flexible beds. (N= 70,625). | |||||||

| b. This table illustrates the results of the base case scenario, the median and 90th percentile of patient wait times resulting from switching zero to five beds from Fast Track to Flex Track beds and for the traditional All Access policy. The lowest overall mean wait time resulting from switching zero to five beds from Fast Track to Flex Track was achieved with 3-flexible beds, just as seen with the mean patient wait time results.
