Not so sure about that, the cost of vaccines can add up too.

Purchasing MRI scanners sounds like it could be beneficial, but I wonder if the cost is really modest compared to the benefits they provide.

I think we did a practice question about interventions that provide significant public health benefits, and childhood immunizations came up as a clear winner there.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like lung transplants are really expensive and might not fit the "modest cost" part of the question.

I remember studying cost-benefit analysis, and I think childhood immunizations are often highlighted as a great example of high benefit for low cost.

This is a good test of understanding lean principles and how to apply them in the real world. I think option A is the strongest choice to increase resilience without abandoning lean.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The terms "erosion" and "erosion-corrosion" sound similar, so I'll need to carefully consider the differences between them.

I'm a bit confused by the options. I'll need to re-read the question and think about the different link formats before selecting an answer.

Childhood immunizations for the win! It's like getting the most bang for your buck. Although, I do wonder if the cost of storing all those vaccines in a fridge the size of a small country might offset the savings a bit.

Purchasing MRI scanners to supplement CT scanners? That's an interesting option, but I'm not sure the benefits would be that major compared to the cost. Seems like a flatter part of the curve to me.

Care for an anencephalic infant? That's a tough one. The benefits seem pretty minimal, but the costs can be astronomical. I don't think that fits the description of a steep part of the curve.

I'm not so sure. Lung transplants can be incredibly beneficial for patients with end-stage lung disease, even if the cost is high. Isn't that the kind of intervention that would be on a steep part of the curve?

Childhood immunizations definitely seem like the correct answer here. The benefits of preventing deadly diseases like polio and measles are huge, and the cost is relatively modest compared to something like a lung transplant.
