A 24/7 cacophony of beeping gadgets, flashing kleig lights, hourly blood draws, and 3am colonoscopies are all very visual, obvious, and performative. I'd bet that hospitals understand that quality sleep is a silent, invisible, and statistical requirement for recovery. But they also understand that most humans mostly care about the performance. And that most humans will "understand" any negative outcome which somehow occurs, in spite of the hospital's obvious "we did everything possible" performance.
