Walk the CT Bottleneck With Theory of Constraints
Use Theory of Constraints to identify and protect the limiting step in a CT workflow.
Capacity pressure CT access is out 19 days, but logs show scanner idle time and same-day protocol questions. A capacity purchase is risky if the constraint is actually upstream workflow readiness. Theory of Constraints Identify -> Exploit -> Subordinate -> Elevate -> Repeat Throughput improves when the limiting step improves. Everything else is secondary until the constraint moves. Buy more capacity May improve the wrong step. The practice spends effort where throughput is actually limited. A non-constraint improvement can make people busier while patients still wait. 01 Find 02 Protect 03 Elevate Identify Evidence
