Inefficiencies

As healthcare reform transitions from an abstract idea to a foregone conclusion, healthcare leaders are focused on uncovering inefficiencies in their systems.  Instead of merely slashing reimbursements or providing less care, we have a clear opportunity to do more — and provide the right care — with less waste and less spending. I recently read Mark Graban and Rob Harding’s article Cut Costs by Reducing Redundant or Inefficient Activity, in Hospitals & Health Networks, and agree with them that there is even more hidden waste to cut.
