In manufacturing you strive to reduce exceptions (problem states, differences, inconsistencies), but in healthcare you are pretty much dealing with exceptions by default - healthy people generally don't go to the doctor. In manufacturing you should ideally fix one problem at a time. In healthcare you don't have that opportunity, you have to deal with comorbidities. In manufacturing you can fire troublemakers (eventually). In healthcare you have to treat them.
