As long as you remain explicitly aware of the difference between emergency medicine and normal operations. If the hospital is just understaffed compared to their case load, then by accepting that situation and not following accepted practices, they need to realize that they are accepting the trade-off to treat more patients at a lower standard of care.
And the analogy to software teams is clear. If you accept the declaration of an emergency for your development team, and you don’t clearly go back to normal operation when it’s done, then you are accepting the erosion of standards.
