QA Templates¶
SUMMARY
- Flow-space: concurrent occupancy
- Recovery occupancy: temporary occupancy capacity
- Bed occupancy: overnight bed stock
- Time utilisation: procedural time
- Appointment utilisation: appointment slots
- Session capacity: treatment throughput
| Conversion Archetype | Core QA Themes | Example Validation Tests | Expected Monotonic Behaviour | Primary Bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flow-space occupancy | workload scaling, operational sensitivity, peak occupancy behaviour | LOS scaling, utilisation sensitivity, annual hours consistency, zero-activity test | Longer LOS → more spaces; reduced operational hours → more spaces; higher utilisation → fewer spaces | concurrent space availability |
| Recovery occupancy | LOS and occupancy sensitivity, turnover assumptions | LOS scaling, occupancy monotonicity, operational hours consistency, zero-activity test | Longer LOS → more beds; reduced operational hours → more beds; higher occupancy → fewer beds | recovery space availability |
| Bed occupancy | bed-day annualisation, occupancy behaviour, residual workload allocation | 365-day denominator test, occupancy monotonicity, bed-day reconciliation, zero-activity test | More bed-days → more beds; higher occupancy → fewer beds | staffed beds |
| Time utilisation | duration and utilisation sensitivity | procedure-time scaling, utilisation monotonicity, annual hours consistency, zero-activity test | Longer procedure time → more rooms; reduced operational hours → more rooms; higher utilisation → fewer rooms | schedulable procedural time |
| Appointment utilisation | appointment duration, DNA assumptions, utilisation sensitivity | appointment-time scaling, DNA-rate sensitivity, utilisation monotonicity, annual hours consistency | Longer appointment time → more rooms; higher DNA rate → more rooms; higher utilisation → fewer rooms | schedulable appointment time |
| Session capacity | throughput assumptions and annual session capacity | session-capacity sensitivity, annual throughput consistency, zero-activity test | More treatment sessions → more beds; higher annual session capacity per bed → fewer beds | treatment session throughput |
