In my opinion, this is to be expected as there is not always a "one-size-fits-all" solution. However, there should be a concern when standardization overpowers autonomy, and the benefits no longer outweigh the cons. According to Kenney (2011), some doctors felt standardization would lead to average work. This can be seen as a double-edged sword in which medical providers who would have autonomously put in less effort can be forced to provide at least the minimum or standard treatment. On the other hand, a provider who puts in more effort may be limited in the quality of care they can provide due to said standards. According to Sitemender (2020), hospitals can reduce costs and waste by standardizing procedures. However, standardization can prove to be difficult and have adverse effects if it is improperly implemented. An example of this occurring would be adding unnecessary steps to the standardization procedure which could increase costs. Not standardizing procedures may be detrimental to healthcare organizations as no baseline can cause chaos. Standardization is needed if the main goal is to provide
