Novelty-bias, innovation-bias, and do more-bias. The quintessential problems that drive ever-increasing costs. Until we embed RCTs at scale into health systems, this will not change and, yet, if we embedded adaptive RCTs into systems we could get high quality data quickly.
It's sad that millions of procedures have been performed using antibiotic cement but no one can do a 10000 patient RCT.

Royal Commission on Doctor’s & Dentist’s Pay reported in 1960. It arose from industrial unrest caused by government holding back Drs pay. Was accepted in full - despite a country broke from war & wracked by inflation. Could have been written yesterday @hmtreasury @Number10press
