Can The Government Make Doctors Better Doctors?

I think that doctors could be replaced by a Kiosk. You step in a computer and it scans you. You answer the same questions the doctor asks, using a keypad, and maybe answer them more honestly, and then the computer makes a diagnosis. Digital exams might be a little tricky.

Which then a doctor then can review, over the internet or office.

Already it is reported that robots outperform surgeons.

I hope you are not surprised that your X-rays might be read by a radiologist in Malaysia.

I look at pure capitalism in places that have it(some parts of central Asia and Africa) and the history of it...What I find is it doesn't give a damn about the little guy and would be far worse then what we have now.

Loserterians are dumb enough to think that corporations that force asians to work for pennies per day and mistreat them with slavery like work conditions will work out differently here.

This continues to be the retard argument of 2016.

If you believe regulations and laws protecting the patient hasn't made hospitals better. Well, you're fucking insane.

I you believe those are the only things that have made hospitals better.....you are twice as insane.

If you believe that regulations and laws always make hospitals better...I've got bridges galore for you.

When you graduate high school and get into the real world....let us know.

What control do I have over that happening? Actually, a computer could read most x-rays.

I not saying this would be a good thing or even something that should be done. I am replying to how to make doctors better if not cheaper.

I'd be surprised if you could prove that. Last X-ray I had was processed within 30 minutes at the clinic where it was taken.

From the OP:

This principle applies to health care in spades. For as long as I have been in health policy – more than 30 years – I have been dealing with non-doctors who have a deep, abiding desire to tell doctors what to do. Yet I don’t know of any example anywhere in the world where this approach has ever worked.

If the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and each time expecting a different result then “insanity” is the appropriate word here. The Obama administration has spent millions of dollars on pilot programs and demonstration projects in a fruitless attempt to discover how to better practice medicine. It has spent millions more trying to herd Medicare patients into Accountable Care Organizations – super HMOs with financial incentives to hit quality measures. That hasn’t worked either.

So what does the Obama Administration propose to do about all of this? More of the same.
