Characteristics include: • Long-term goals with strategies in place for one- to three-year periods. • Performance improvement as the underlying belief system. • Cost reduction through quality increase, supported by statistics evaluating the cost of inefficiency. • Incorporation of improvement methodology (such as PDSA).
