Elevator Efficiency

Idea Status: 

There are multiple elevator systems at the Moffit/Long hospital, however, they are very slow and inefficient. This causes delays in patient transport to procedures and tests and also a delay in healthcare providers reaching patients and creates a domino effect where there is a delay in care and timely decision-making. Elevators should be streamlined so that one elevator only accesses certain floors and the neighboring elevator accesses the remainder of the floors (e.g. Elevator A goes to Basement through 7th floor + 15th floor; Elevator B goes to 8th floor through 14th floor).
