Question
The five steps of a patient's path
Answer
Symptom, access, triage, diagnosis, treatment — digital systems have entered all five.
Question
The key health question
Answer
Does the system propose to a person, or does it decide? An error in the second has no owner.
Question
Why triage is the hardest case
Answer
An error is a person waiting, and nobody sorted downwards is told they were sorted.
Question
Why overall accuracy misleads
Answer
It hides much worse performance for groups barely present in the training data.
