Abstract: Pre-admission testing clinics are care units serving outpatients prior to surgical operation and performing procedure-specific tests to prepare them. Patients may need multiple tests, each performed by a specialized operator and delivered in any order. Exam rooms act as renewable resources: rooms are limited, tests are administered to patients inside the rooms, individually, and patients occupy the room until all the required tests are completed.
