If the motivation is to punish and stop bad doctors, then the QALY doesn't matter.
- smileysteve 11y agoBut, if measuring QALY, then, riskier procedures with great reward, can be promoted; which maybe they get better?
- frozenport 11y agoIts a really hard choice as on the individual level as there is a lot of uncertainty as to which treatment will work, on the other hand the holistic statistics often lead to strange conclusions such as with the PSA test. Maximizing QALY is non-trivial. On the other hand punishing a doctor who dropped a salad fork in your stomach is easy. These laws are designed to remove bad actors.
