"Incentives matter!"

"Goodhart's Law holds that 'When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.'"

"Give an MBA within HCA a metric ("get patients out of bed quicker") and they will find a way to hit that metric ("send patients off to die somewhere else, even if their doctors think they could recover")"
