POPS Haryana's sex ratio changes drastically This is excellent news... 'Successive state governments have taken various measures. Besides coming down heavily on private clinics doing sex determination tests that was attributed to the rising incidents of female foeticide, the state administration announced monetary incentives to parents giving birth to girl child, free education and government help in the form of cash at the time of their marriage.'

POPSThe problem with doctor report cards This is from an exchange between Jerome Groopman and Darshak Sanghavi, discussing Groopman's well-known recent book How Doctors Think . Sanghavi suggested that doctors be graded based on well-measured outcomes so patients can make a well-informed choice when they pick their doctors. Here Groopman points out the problem with this. This is especially interesting for me, because public schools face a very similar dilemma with accountability. How can we hold doctors and educators accountable in a way that is fair, accurate, and avoids gaming the system?
