Plus, larger volume equals lower cost per unit.. --------------------------------------------------- How so? If one nurse takes care of 40 patients instead of 6, is that what you mean? If hospital rooms are converted to wards, is that what you mean? Medicine as wholesale, rather than retail? More procedures done with the same device that has a fixed cost (an MRI machine for example). Buying more materials in bulk reduces cost and shipping. And yes more productivity from existing staff. In an efficient organization, increased volume should always equal reduced unit cost. Business 101.
