Healthcare Affordability

Part of the Continuous Improvement Series, *Healthcare Affordability: Motivate People, Improve Processes, and Increase Performance*, 1st Edition, is a book that outlines an operational framework for achieving performance excellence across the healthcare enterprise. The volume applies the Theory of Affordability to help organizations address current operational dilemmas and prepare for future success.

The book explains that affordability is achieved when delivered value exceeds patient requirements, while the cost of quality resources remains lower than the revenue generated by competitive pricing. It addresses methods designed to improve care quality, increase delivery speed, and reduce overall expenses.

To support organizational transformation, the framework provides structured methods to align high-level strategic vision with operational objectives and everyday tactical tasks.
