Overwhelmed by patient queues in Two Point Hospital? Learn community-discovered strategies like simple, auto-cure, and full patient purges to regain control and recover your hospital.
Walkthrough
- 1Identify Overwhelm: Signs include long GP office queues, patient deaths, low money, and low morale.
- 2Simple Patient Purge: Sort patients by Cure Status. Send home those with low health and low chance of timely cure (approx. 10-15% of patients).
- 3Auto-Cure Strategy: Sort patients by Diagnosis Status. Send patients with a diagnosis confidence above 90% (bright green bar) directly to treatment, assuming GPs only send patients with 100% diagnosis confidence.
- 4Full Purge: Send all patients home. This resets the hospital as if you're starting the level, providing significant breathing room but incurring a large reputation, cure rate, and financial hit. This can be a strategy to quickly achieve a high cure rate.
- 5Fast-Tracking Diagnoses (v1.09+): Access via Finances Overview > Policy. Set a threshold (default 90%) to allow patients to go directly from diagnosis rooms to treatment rooms if their diagnosis certainty meets the threshold, bypassing a GP re-consultation. This cuts down GP queues but may slightly reduce cure ratio due to lack of 100% GP confirmation.
Tips
- Patient purges are temporary solutions. Address root causes like staff shortages and inefficient layouts by building more, redesigning rooms/corridors, and training staff.
- Consider a loan to fund improvements before a full purge.
- A full purge can result in a significant financial hit ($100,000-$200,000+). Ensure your hospital is financially stable beforehand.
- Giving GPs a General Practitioner III qualification can improve efficiency.
- Fast-Tracking Diagnoses can reduce GP queues but be cautious in levels where Cure Ratio is critical, as it might lower the overall cure rate.
- The game has improved since earlier builds; consider replaying if you previously rage-quit.
