Association for Healthcare Resource Materials Management AHRMM

Fragmented healthcare delivery promotes wasted time, efforts, materials, medications, money, and trust. The term efficiency is often mistaken for cutting comers. There are two primary methods to increase the efficiency of the healthcare systan. The first deals with reducing waste at aU levels, and the second addresses lowering administrative and production costs. Healthcare must uever reduce and/or eliminate services based on a patient s race, ethnicity, or gender. Patients must receive treatment on the basis of need and not on personal characteristics unrelated to their illness. While patients may vary in their desire to be involved in their healthcare, often, they feel excluded from discussions and decisions that affect them. As a consequence, patients may find their healthcare to be not only impersonal, but they are often left confused and unsure as to what they need to do in regard to participation in their care.
