I have zero experience from the industry, but I still want to defend my point:
"Comparing it in a useful way across different institutions" seems like a BIG deal!
Institutions revealed to be inferior would have to improve close down. Those proven to do great work would be richly rewarded, but at all levels there'd be a new level of scrutiny.
This would be of huge benefit for patients, save tons of lives etc, but also put a lot of strain on doctors and hospitals, and I can see how people with power in those fields don't want this to happen and thus don't make it happen.
It's also entirely possible I babble too much about things I know nothing about here. If so, I'd appreciate learning about it!
