Description
Summary:This paper deals with the use of the critical path method (CPM) and CRIT, a computerized CPM program, as a tool for reporting and developing management information systems for hospital decision making. A CPM analysis was applied at the Microbiology Department of Deaconess Hospital to coordinate and synchronize the various tasks for efficient management. Its numerous benefits are cited. The CPM model can facilitate planning, decision making and managerial control by providing management information.
