Hi.

Where does the train of thought move us to?

Rather than analyze what would only be a scant handful of projects, let us follow a train of thought that moves us from an understanding of why hospitals are so complex and what can be done to simplify the experience of working in, visiting, or needing a hospital for care.

Should not the underlined word be 'simplifying'?

Thanks in advance

No. "To simplify" is the infinitive.

The sentence is a mess. Following a train doesn't move you—you move you—and you can't go anywhere on a train of thought. The conveyance is not the analogy. This train is a succession of thoughts, a chain of thought. The writer bridges "understanding" to nowher
