STAT Lab efficiency

[Wild]

Im having some issues trying to solve the needs for 80 patients a day with ma STAT Labs.

Before i was using 4 Labs (2 doctors each) and there was at the end of the day always ppl leaving. I tryied adding 2 more Labs for a total of 12 doctors and the result didnt change.

Then i switched to 2 Big Labs with 4 doctors each (double equipment on both) and the result was even worst, even with 4 doctors they still do 1 exam at time while the queue outside was bigger than before.

I'm missing something?
How you guys set up your labs for solve every patients during the day with 80 patients per day?

EDIT: Forgot to say thats just for Emergency departments, other are fine.

I have had problems using multiple labs--the issue is that sometimes one lab gets tons of stored samples built up, with another lab has no stored samples and its techs are idle.

I solved this by building one single mega-lab. It starts out as a normal prefab stat-lab. When I need more than 2 techs, I add another PC & chair to it (there is space). When I need more, I knock down one of the walls and extend the lab, adding more PCs. I monitor for equipment contention. I will generally build 2 of the commonly used things when I get to 3+ techs. You can add more microscopes/glassware/sinks/analyzers/etc as needed (determined by watching techs to see if they are stalled waiting for equipment).

I did what u suggested but i didnt really helped, ill try to make it bigger but it seems pointless. I saw 5 "doctors" go to the same glassware at the same time, stack together on the same spot, and work there. While 3 other glassware was free to use. The only item that i noticed make them stall is the recycle bin.

Atm im using 8 doctors with 8 PCs and 4 of every tech.

From what I saw, they can use a single object at the same time so even you have one trash it will NOT slow them down...
