In a neighboring town are two hospitals. One which does as you suggest and treat and provide the utmost care. The second hospital is not worthy of the name. It’s where you go if you want to die. Not all hospitals are alike and ran like yours.
While I agree with part of what you said trust me all hospitals are alike. They have to manage the same metrics and I have seen not for profit and for profit alike put the management of length of stay ahead of the patient. The only way to reverse this I fear is for we physicians to grow a spine and take back our profession. In my opinion nonclinical hospital administrators are the spawn of Satan. Oh sure they talk a good game but just below the surface it is ALL about the metrics. I happen to be of the opinion and have said this in numerous national lectures that when we take good care of the patient everything else falls in line. But too many people can make a living or name for themselves by managing a metric instead of caring for a patient.
