  • The drive for operating room efficiency will increase quality of patient care.

    Archer T, Macario A. Curr Opin Anaesthesiol. 2006; 19 (2): 171-6

    The public is demanding that medicine both increase its efficiency and lower its costs. 'Watchdog' groups are scrutinizing our performance, publicizing our results, and forcing us to compete. They want doctors first to use evidence-based medicine to identify truly beneficial healthcare interventions and then to use continuous quality improvement to perform those beneficial interventions consistently at lower costs.
