the fourth strategy can inform where and how many of the 15 mobile operating rooms should be deployed by EMTs, further demon-strating that by supplying the periphery with additional medical resources, the city will be more successful at decreasing global patient waiting times and offloading demands for patient mobilization. Without coordination, EMTs might find it practical to locate these additional operating rooms at the city center, whereequipment mobilization is easier, and the availability of doctorsand nurses is higher. However, such a plan will lessen the ability of the hospital system to effectively treat patients because more patients would have to be transferred from the periphery to the center, overloading the roads and potentially overflowing ambulance capacities.
