“
..we need to stop glorifying every new technology as an innovation. “New” matters only when it’s proved better than what we had before, when it prolongs survival, reduces side effects or improves quality of life — or maintains the current standard of care at a lower cost.
Health care reform may quash pseudo-innovations, but that simply directs capital and creativity away from technologies that don’t improve outcomes or lower costs and toward ones that do. That should not be confused with killing innovation.
”
— It just needs to be said. [NYT]
