I dont like when homework assignments stress me out. It's an opinion piece, but it does bring some things to discuss. John Stossel, 20/20.

- GE is revered for quality and standardization - Six Sigma is applicable to many industries, including healthcare, where a Physicians performance can be related to a teachers performance. Healthcare has standards that can be tracked in terms of how different patients are tracked based on diagnosis, insurance, physician, etc. For example, you can break down the data to see if certain providers (physicians) have differing lengths of stays for patients that are Medicare vs patients that are Medicare Risk (the payment structure is different for the two groups).

-Competition is motivation to change, improve, and continue doing what you do well. Money can help things a lot, but only when applied to root causes

-Rar. raaaaaaaaar. I can't put coherent thoughts together about this.
