pat and others,
if there is information out there, please share with all of us. I'm not
sure there is definative research that addresses this topic. And one
week's notice may not be enough. But to state the facts in terms of
customer service and patient satisfaction, not to mention physician
demand might be enough.  It also helps if there is a revenue review that
shows steadily increasing amounts of income. How about a rental station
to generate revenue?
