One of the issues when it comes to healthcare, unfortunately, is that inefficiency in technology is often a driver of profitability. Removing inefficiencies in certain sectors has a noticeable downwards effect on profits, but a less noticeable effect on improving patient outcomes. Overall care may be increased, but generally over much longer and harder to measure terms.
