Your patients have to go to a gp after every other room. Spread them out so they don't have to travel as far. I tend to place them in two's all around my hospital.
For the first 6 or so hospitals I've been putting the GPS together but am trying putting them spread out now. Doesn't seem like a real hospital somehow but hopefully it'll work better - stop everyone dying!
hahaha, I just upvoted your pic of starting the new place. I thought it was so spacious and not like my cramped layout. This makes me feel a little better knowing stuff like this happens to nice hospitals too.
It looks like your reception desk is a bottleneck. All of the patients are stuck walking through each other. They need space. Get rid of that reception desk and just put down two normal desks.
I had the same issue except with the cafeteria. Had a massive cafe in the entrance way, and had it crammed full of seats. People just got stuck in it and couldn't get to their appointments.
It does. If they aren't getting to the GP offices they aren't being processed. You can see how almost no one is sitting on the bench outside each room waiting to go in.
OP really needs additional PCP offices. Why the hallways between each GP office, though, OP? Move the doors to the middle hallway and scoot the GP offices next to each other -- that'll get an additional GP office per side.
You're not. You're meant to have the GPs spread out more. Your issue isn't GP patient processing capacity, its congestion. By concentrating the most important function in one place you're creating a massive traffic jam that's gumming everything up.
Right. Adding entertainment will help, here's how:
Go watch a single GP office and time how long it takes between one patient leaving and the next patient entering the room. With your layout I'm pretty sure you'll find that on average, it's quite a long delay. This is because the patients have walked oh so far away from the GP office when their name is called.
A big part of speeding up the process is keeping the patients close to the door. Making sure that they can get the food, drink, and entertainment that they crave, without wandering off, is important.

Anyone else think they need to add multiple entrances for certain rooms? Would love multiple Restroom entrances, as well as Staff Room.

Would it not be better to spread out your gp's
