A system integration methodology for identifying and assessing potentials relevant to healthcare institutions

Drawing on postulates and models from the natural sciences and engineering, particularly physics, the paper formulates and substantiates a hypothesis that a system integration methodology can be developed to identify and assess potentials relevant to the activities of a healthcare institution. It presents electrical charge calculations and circuit diagrams and identifies analogous examples in hospital operations. These provide a basis for developing a system to calculate an institution’s resource and outcome potential.
