Abstract
Dr. Brent James presented on the gap between current care delivery and how organizations can create the best medical results at the lowest necessary cost. Quality-based savings can be achieved through measuring, understanding, and managing variation among clinicians in providing care. By implementing improvement principles organizations can achieve superior outcomes in quality, safety, waste reduction, as well as cost savings.
