A Computer-Based Medical-History System
Abstract
IN spite of the homage devoted to the importance of the medical history, there has been remarkably little research on the subject. Neither the method of history taking and recording nor the reliability and usefulness of the data collected has been studied as rigorously as the other tools of clinical medicine, in large part because neither the method nor the data lend themselves well to research.The traditional method of taking and recording medical histories involves serious problems for both the practicing physician and the clinical research worker. History taking consumes a large amount of the physician's time, and inadequate . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
