1) Suppose that you are a administrator of the non-profit community hospital. You have been approached by medical staff from 2 different departments (for eg, paediatrics and radiation therapy) who are uniformly convinced that their respective areas of specialty need main new pieces of high technology capital equipment that will significantly develop patient care in each department. Knowing your hospital has partial resources for capital expenditures, what information do you require to gather? Once you have gathered this information, how will you go about make a decision which department, if either, should get equipment?
