Abstract:When patients receive care or services, inefficiency can be defined as using more inputs (or resources) than is necessary, and it is associated with unnecessary variation in operational and clinical processes. Among the 8.6 million preventable deaths in 2016, more than 1 million were caused by neonatal problems and tuberculosis in those who accessed the health system but received poor quality of care.
