Consider what hospitals optimize for (at least in the US). Not what they say but what they do...
For example, putting lots of money into fancy buildings. Fancy buildings attract patients for non-emergency things. That money doesn't go into things like enough nurses and techs to care for the people, especially at night.
Or, consider someone with a lump finding out it's cancer and getting setup with everything to get it treated. It's numerous visits to numerous places (some in Hospitals). This is not optimized for patient care.
If hospitals prioritized and optimized for patient care they would look a lot different.
