Changing Physicians' Practices
Abstract
What causes physicians to change the way they practice? This question is especially important today because physicians' decisions influence not only the health of their patients but also the cost of their care. Thus, the ability to change physicians' practices could improve the quality of health care while controlling expenditures.Changes in practice are sometimes rapid and dramatic. For example, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has virtually replaced the traditional procedure in the past several years1. At other times physicians are reluctant to change their practices even when randomized trials demonstrate the effectiveness of a new treatment2. In this article we . . .

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.
