The variability and inaccuracy of medical data

Medical data are defined and collected with a marked degree of variability and inaccuracy. The taking of a medical history, the performance of the physical examination, the interpretation of laboratory tests, even the definition of diseases, are surprisingly inexact. We consider the implications of this reality for computerized medical information systems, quantitative techniques for medical diagnosis, and the evaluation of bioengineering technology.
