* high turnover impacts efficiency.
* Exhausted doctors make mistakes which will lead to malpractice lawsuits
I think incentives are misaligned across the board in the medical industry. This goes for doctors, patients, hospitals, insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, medical equipment/material supply companies and probably everyone else connected to the industry.
These poor incentives lead to pathologies that drive up costs and result in poor patient outcomes.
Anyone who has encountered a "prior authorization" when trying to get a time sensitive medication filled has experienced this.
Some doctors are opting to "drop out" of the counterproductive insurance game by accepting only cash payments, but that only solves a small part of the problem.
