That doesn't mean that they make mistakes, some extremely competent workers just do what they're told. But I don't know of any evidence that hospitals have gone through the same engineered hardening process as heavy industry (eg, airlines) so I expect huge gaps between actual practice and what is possible. I've never seen a hospital process that looks to have been given an engineered finish & I don't think they have enough mathematicians floating around to squeeze for efficiencies.
