In medicine and education one can improve results by improving inputs (only accepting easier patients or smarter students). A pressure to provide measurable results could translate to pressure to game the results.
Then again, maybe prediction markets could help here. Or those would be gamed too, considering that the information (on patients’ health, or students’ skills) is not publicly available.

There’s an upper limit to ‘easier patients’ though, you can’t be more than perfectly healthy and compliant after all.
