ANALYSIS OF SURGICAL PATIENT FLOW AT WINNIPEG HEALTH SCIENCES CENTRE
The Health Sciences Centre (HSC) in Winnipeg is the major trauma centre serving the entire province of Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, and Nunavut. Therefore, it has to handle a high volume of both elective and emergent surgical patients. Because the facility always strives to provide quality care i...
