I could think of a bunch of simpler ways to state this equation without the baloney false math (similar to the paraphrasing you did).
No, the purpose of putting this into an "equation" is to imply false rigor, and simultaneously to imply that you should hire our people to implement our "healthcare quality framework". I mean, would people really think this is any sort of non-obvious advice if you simply stated, "To improve quality, you should improve appropriateness of treatments, improve outcomes and improve service, and reduce waste." I mean, no shit Sherlock. But once you put it into an "equation", you're deliberately, and falsely, implying "Oooh, science!"
