I could not disagree more with your statement. Let put it in simple terms. If your ER facilities have ER rooms for 10 patients, and on a single evening you have 100 ER patients, you will have a serious overload, and resulting unsatisfactory care for a lot of those patients. Performance and process have little to do with such a situation. Throw in this mix only one Emergency doctor and only four emergency nurses. All of this makes up the "facility" and it will fall short of providing the proper care for the patients no matter whay performance and process you utilize.
