Question

Good News! The hospital where you work is getting a brand new break room! It will be a centralized break room for all departments on the same floor – laboratory, pharmacy, rehabilitation, labor & delivery, and post-partum. Since this will be a common break room, all departments must share the decisions and costs involved. Your team has a representative from each department. Your report will include information from the representative from each department - laboratory, pharmacy, rehabilitation, labor & delivery, and post-partum. You will have to decide what the laboratory representative's decisions would be, what the pharmacy representative's decisions would be, and the same for the rehabilitation, labor & delivery, and post-partum's representative's decisions would be. You will change "hats" 5 times for this case: As a team, you must decide what type and how many refrigerators to purchase.
