This concern is raised with great respect for health care professionals. To be sure, ill intent is rare, and many health services are effective. Nonetheless, it is time to address the possibility of net health harm by elucidating more fully aggregate health benefits and harms of current health care. This information should help clinicians, health care leaders, policy experts, and politicians improve health outcomes by allowing more explicit consideration of the trade-offs involved in health interventions and expenditures, and help guide health care reform efforts.
