Answer 1

An efficiency-based multicriteria strategic planning model can solve personnel shortages in the Ambulatory Surgery Centers. The plan will focus on perfectly matching the resources to the increased demand to adequately and effectively respond to the need.

You will need to research on the most cases that the Ambulatory Surgery Center requires manpower. The goal will be to identify which cases require similar care so that a healthcare personnel can strategically and synchronously cater to more patients with similar healthcare needs requiring less time and effort to complete tasks. A research identifying which cases need constant, extended or periodic care will also be needed to determine the average number of personnel is needed. 

A successful plan will reflect an adequate healthcare team able to efficiently respond to the responsibilities in the Ambulatory Surgery Center.
