Room Comparison
This is the first map decision that decides whether the rest of the run stays cheap or gets messy. Desk wins when the patient is already readable. Office wins when the patient still feels close and one more confirmation layer can stop a bad admit.
If you move to Office too early, you waste rhythm on easy rejects. If you stay at Desk too long, you wave through the close patients that only CCTV was going to expose.
Quick Answer
Best Split
Desk
Office
One failed layer already gave you enough evidence and leaving the window would only delay the correct reject.
The patient still looks close and the next useful answer is on CCTV rather than at the front window.
You used Office to avoid a clear reject, or stayed at Desk while a close admit really needed one more camera layer.
Open this if you already know Office matters and just want the timing rule.
Use this if you want the broader room framing around the same decision.
Open this if the real issue is not the room, but the full admit-check sequence.
You keep re-reading a patient at the window even though the next meaningful clue clearly lives on camera.
You keep peeling off for Office on admits that were already obvious enough to reject without a second trip.
Desk removes the cheap mistakes fast and Office only appears when it can stop a real borderline admit.
Best next page if you already know Office is the likely answer and only want the timing rule.
Open this if you want the broader room framing around the same intake-versus-confirmation split.
Use this when the room decision is really a sequence problem across all three intake layers.
Best follow-up when the Desk versus Office call is only the first branch in a bigger route decision.
