To evaluate the evolution of scientific methods in clinical judgment over the past two decades and assess the influence of non-clinical quantitative models.
Methodological critique evaluating progress in clinical data quality, disease taxonomy, and clinical reasoning since the publication of the book Clinical Judgment.
Conceptual assessment of the application of external quantitative strategies, including Bayes theorem, decision analysis, and psychometrics, to clinical practice.
Essential scientific improvements in basic clinical data quality, taxonomic classification of phenomena, and reasoning specifications have not been widely achieved.
Investigators have largely substituted foundational clinical research with non-clinical quantitative models, leaving core challenges in clinical judgment unsolved.
