  In this article Clancy discusses Constructal Law as it relates to nurses' workflow. The author uses the analogy of a river to describe the relationship of patient flow through the healthcare system and the integral role of nurses in the process.

  This was a very interesting article using the short/long flow of biological systems. The most alarming fact to me was the concurrence that branching patterns of nurse's workflow is increasing (short and fast) yet the desire of nurses and patients is to spend more time at the bedside (long and slow) which may be at odds with the organizational structures of acute care settings and overall balance of the system.
