Is batching really inferior than processing piece by piece?

A basic principle of the Lean Thinking arena is that batching our processes (waiting to fill a certain quota before processing) is inferior to working one piece at a time.

I need to know the reasoning behind this and if it applies to healthcare.

    You can not have a blanket hypothesis to be applied as true in all cases, you need to check each area on its own merits.
