I think we are in danger of having a million top-level tags, and that
trying to be a bit more hierarchical is better.

What about relation on all the buildings with amenity=hospital, or a
polygon on the grounds, and then a point for the main entrance with
amenity=hospital and a point for the ER entrance with amenity=hospital
emergency=yes?  I generally lean towards the simplest adequate scheme.
