I’ve written before on the nonsense of trying to make a recipe card define quality heath care for patients, emphasizing that expert knowledge is not rule-based. The numerous attempts by various oversight entities to measure "quality" in medical care always involve taking patient symptoms out of context and counting them. Whether it's the much-touted "standard of care" or attempts by Medicare to try to find some way to avoid paying for services physicians provide, this checklist process often has little to do with genuine quality of care.
