I think the total of all treatments is important for resource planning, but I also remember that emergency treatments can’t be ignored. It’s tricky, but I might go with D.

I feel like we talked about how S&OP is generally used in manufacturing, so I’m a bit confused about its application in a hospital setting. Maybe C is correct?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think S&OP could apply to hospitals in some way. I recall a practice question that mentioned considering all treatments, which makes me lean towards D.

I remember discussing how S&OP is more effective when it focuses on planned treatments rather than just emergencies. So, I think B might be the right choice.
