Hi, Martin.
Are you asking why we ever started doing that, or why we are still doing it?
On the former I recommend Galen and Gambino from 1975, and the NORDKEM projects from the 1980s.
But the latter is a professional disgrace. We now have all of the tools to do this much better, including:
- Processing power in the medium on which clinicians view reports that allows computerised decision support.
- Ditto much better infographics.
- Computerised requesting which allows factors such as the question being asked and some estimate of the a priori probability to be available throughout the cycle.
