It means that money efficiency and productivity are low. A surgeon is idling because an OR is not setup because stuff is poorly organized, etc. It was mentioned in this thread already that with similar outcomes US healthcare costs are way higher than comparable systems in other countries. Low efficiency per dollar is a money waste. EDIT: formatting.
