One of the common cost-cutting mistakes healthcare systems make is not investing in equipment, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.

Focusing on supplier discounts instead of individual clinician consumption is also a mistake, the article said.
Research also recommends analyzing the full cycle of care for each condition to determine the lowest cost.
