Executive Summary In the Shouldice Hospital case, I have identified two primary constraints: 1) The number of beds available to patients and 2) The number of surgeons available to operate on the patients.

Healing Hospitals “The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul.

Care can be a very impersonal...
