Medical examination plays an important role in the health care service process, thus the quality of service capability planning in medical technology department has great impact on the quality of overall medical services. The purpose of this study is to explore the most recent development of service capacity planning for medical technology department by identifying and structuring essential factors for medical examination capacity management. After reviewing the existing research in healthcare service capacity planning based on the proposed review structure, discussion about possible research breakthrough points are summarized.
