Variation in care receives press attention
This article in the New York Times generated a lot of interest recently. It’s interesting to see that the conclusion of the Dartmouth Atlas–namely, that there’s huge variation in health care in the United States–is now infiltrating the lay press. Here is a link to the article:

Lean healthcare calls for standardization of processes. When procedures are done the same way every time, variations in outcomes can be tracked and made sense of. And paradoxically, standardization allows for improvements to be made when another technique is found to be superior.
