Outcomes Management
Abstract
We pay dearly for the possession of the intricate machinery which gives us our vivid imagination, our retentive memory, and that power by which we are able to grasp at each moment all the threads of our past experience and to weave them into a new fabric for the service of the present. Mischief begins when the demands of this service cannot be properly met.—James J. Putnam, M.D., Shattuck Lecture, 1899.1 When the President proclaimed in 1969 that our nation faced a health care crisis, it was not news to the medical community. Costs were surging. Patients were beginning . . .

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.
