Can two opposing solutions to system risk be valid at the same time?
How can a patient be safely cared for in one 🏥 corridor whilst simultaneously not be safely cared for in another 🏥 corridor?

If escalation 👇
Site-wide escalation is required to clear corridor boarding
If business as usual 👇
All hospital areas should accept corridor boarding
In either scenario risk is absorbed by the system.
Where the paradox apply, risk is concentrated in one part of the system.

A hospital corridor is:
👉 Both safe and unsafe for boarding...
👉 And its use is considered both business as usual and escalation...
... depending on the area of the hospital you're in: A&E vs anywhere else.
It can't be both.
Which is it?
