Once you've indicated the exam specification method you intend to use, the hours of availability, your institution's name, and, if using Method 2, the total number of procedures, proceed to the exam workload by category section by clicking on the gray button. When you click the button, a macro is initiated which selectively displays the rows and columns applicable to the exam specification method you're using. If you're using Method 2, you must indicate what percent of the overall total each major category represents. If using Method 3, enter the number of exams expected for each category. With Methods 2 or 3, enter the average number of minutes and techs needed per exam for the category as a whole.
Negative values are allowable.
Once system availability and exam workload have been specified, you can view the implied utilization by clicking on the button at the top of the screen. You might wish to do this in order to make an adjustment to system availability or even to change to a different exam specification method. You must go by way of the examination workload section. While it is possible to move between screens within the sheet by using the scroll bars or cursor control keys, please don't. The macros initiated by the buttons have been programmed to size the rows and columns and freeze panes appropriately for each screen.
