“Diagnosing infections and prescribing pharmaceuticals are the weak points of many practicing physicians,” according to E. H. Shortliffe, one of the developers in MYCIN. “It seems, therefore that society would be better served if analytics-based diagnosis systems were used by more physicians.”
Why do you think analytics-based diagnosis systems are used only minimally by physicians? If the potential benefits to society are so great, how can society do something that will increase the use of such analytic systems? How will implementation of these technologies impact patients’ privacy? If you were a hospital administrator whose physicians were salaried and reported to you, what would you do to persuade them to use the system?
