| Abstract: | This paper examines learning curves in the health care setting to determine whether organizations achieve performance improvements from cumulative experience at different rates. Although extensive research has shown that cumulative experience leads to performance improvement across numerous contexts, the question of how much of this improvement is due to mere experience and how much is due to collective learning processes has received little attention. The authors argue that organizational learning processes may allow some organizations to benefit more than others from equivalent levels of experience. The authors thus propose that learning curves can vary across organizations engaged in the same "learning task," due to organizational learning effects. |
