Isn't there a better way?

I was walking through Vancouver General Hospital over the weekend and came across this. As a way to hold a door open, a tied bedsheet works quite well, but from an operations perspective is this really the best solution?

It is effective but does it look professional? And isn't a waste of clean laundry?

Is a door in a hospital needs to stay open there are lots of better solutions. I wonder why those solutions can't be implemented.
