An Interesting Observation

By Ian Ayres, a guest columnist on the New York Time’s Freakonomics blog:

“In Super Crunchers, I conjectured that predictive analytics was going to invade physicians’ autonomy in the front-end job of making diagnoses — much as number crunching has already done in the back-end job of choosing the best treatment. But Every Patient Tells A Story [by Lisa Sanders] convinces me that I missed the important and non-formulaic role that good physicians will continue to play in acquiring and analyzing the raw information needed before any formulaic algorithms can be applied:

Medicine — to the extent that it can be called a science — is a sensual science, one in which we collect data about a patient through touch and the other senses according to a systemic method in order to make a diagnosis.“

Ian Ayres’ posts have an interesting perspective and I recommend reading them.
