THe biggest driver in health care costs is clinical trials.
There are sound mathematical ways to improve this.
The major driver is sample size.
Confidence level depends on error ove the square root of sample size.
If you reduce the error, you are then free to reduce the sample size.
The next cost is "beds", not treatment. It's real estate. THe more equipment near the bed, the costlier the bed. SO you need to move patients to less equipped beds as they get better or are beyond cure, but still have the ability to quickly move them to a higher technology bed when needed.
But hospitals are organised more by specialty than need.
You're forgetting a biggie - INSURANCE/LAWYERS.
Malpractice lawsuits seem to be America's favorite
sport and idiot juries award HUGE amounts for
minor complaints or stuff that was out of the
providers hands all along.
Employee issues are also a burden.
In the 60s, most hospital people were there for
The Mission ... now, it's like the fill-in job
you take while waiting to be named CEO of IBM.
All those annoying SICK people too, yuk !!!
