Contrary to a key legend of the healthcare quality movement, the best care doesn't always cost less. And while high volume often does lead to higher quality, low volume doesn't necessarily preclude it. Those are among the findings from a study of Medicare data on coronary artery bypass graft surgeries. Researchers found some common denominators among hospitals that consistently achieved superior outcomes in the procedures.
