Abstract
The US health care industry accounted for 17.1 % of the US economic output in 2013 according to the World Health Organization, whereas EU averages 8 %. Various studies of this industry point to lack or failure of basic quality-control procedures, and misalignment among consumer needs, payers, and provider services, as primary causes for building waste into industry management practices (Kaplan 2012).
