The trouble is there will always be a difference in quality. It’s a human business after all.
Different hospitals have different facilities as well. You’re better off having a type of procedure at one place than another for example. And even if you somehow made it so every hospital had the same high quality equipment you still wouldn’t have the same quality of specialists, surgeons, etc. This matters a lot.
There’s probably a baseline we could get to but the experience will never be a commodity overall.
- endisneigh 6y agoI agree completely but I do think we should be trying to make healthcare as much of a commodity as possible.
- tidepod12 6y agoThere are definitely parts of healthcare that are unreasonable to expect to be commoditized. A heart transplant or brain surgery are probably things where centers specialized in those areas will be higher quality. But for more common things like an annual wellness exam, or blood tests, mending a broken arm, treating the flu, or even doing surgery on a burst appendix, those are things that I think can reasonable be commoditized across any healthcare providers.
