When a person is sick or injured there are far too many barriers to get help in our current system. There are too many stakeholders involved in getting something as simple as an antibiotic for an infection or an MRI for an injured knee. There are too many transactions in our overly complicated design of the US medical system.
What is needed is a team of experienced physicians with a certification as a black belt in Lean 6 Sigma to improve the system and remove the unnecessary transactions.
The physicians needed to carry this through would not want the job because they already enjoy what they’re doing and would only reluctantly agree to this public service because our country needs it so very badly.
