史帝芬·拉森: 医生们可以互相学习

医生们可以互相学习

不同医院的不同手术有着不同的结果。但是病人不知道数据, 所以使得选外科医生成为了一个高风险的猜测游戏。史帝芬·拉森（Stefan Larsson）研究了当医生开始衡量并分享他们的髋关节手术的结果时（比如说什么是最有效的方法）会发生的情况。如果医生们可以相互学习并形成一个反馈循环，医疗保健会不会变得更好、更便宜？（摄于 TED@BCG）

Healthcare systems often focus on cutting costs, while patient outcomes vary dramatically from one hospital to another. In one example, prostate surgery in two German hospitals produced incontinence rates of 50 percent versus just one in twenty. When doctors measure and share results, as Swedish hip surgeons did, best practices quickly spread and costs drop. Tracking outcomes that matter to patients transforms staff from frustrated bystanders into the real engines of healthcare improvement.
