Health care or healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings.

Healthcare is delivered by health professionals (providers or practitioners) in allied health professions, chiropractic, physicians, physician associates, dentistry, midwifery, nursing, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, psychology, and other health professions.

It includes the work done in providing primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care, as well as in public health.

Logistics is generally the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation.

In a general business sense, logistics is the management of the flow of things between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers or corporations.

The resources managed in logistics can include physical items such as food, materials, animals, equipment, and liquids; as well as abstract items, such as time and information.

The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security.

In business, engineering and manufacturing, quality has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something; it's also defined as fitness for purpose.

Quality is a perceptual, conditional, and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people.

Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace.

Producers might measure the conformance quality, or degree to which the product/service was produced correctly.

Efficiency is the (often measurable) ability to avoid wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time in doing something or in producing a desired result.

In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste.

In more mathematical or scientific terms, it is a measure of the extent to which input is well used for an intended task or function (output).

It often specifically comprises the capability of a specific application of effort to produce a specific outcome with a minimum amount or quantity of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort.

Efficiency, of course, refers to very different inputs and outputs in different fields and industries.
