Scenario comparison

216 incremental outpatient studies per year × the lab-supplied technical revenue assumption. Replace with finance-owned contribution margin before it goes to a CFO.
Adds an 8-hour Saturday outpatient/ambulatory block. Strong backlog burn-down tool; requires a weekend differential and a rotation agreement.
Administrative draft — not clinical authority
This output is operations and administration software. It does not interpret EEG, does not provide diagnostic decision support, and carries no clinical authority. Clinical criteria and local policy require review and approval by your physician and medical leadership.
