Protecting the Medical Commons: Who Is Responsible?
Abstract
The resources for medical care are clearly finite, but demands on those resources are growing rapidly. Of particular concern are the demands on those resources for medical practices of three kinds: those that pose conflicts between the interests of the individual and those of society; those of no value or of undetermined value; and those for potentially preventable conditions. Such practices must be evaluated in terms of social and medical priorities, and this requirement will become more urgent with the establishment of national health insurance. Who will make decisions is less clear, but it is not likely to be physicians alone. It is imperative that physicians and other health providers work closely with professionals from many fields, and with consumers, to ensure the availability and dissemination of information that will permit decisions that are in the best interests of society.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
