Questions Around Diagnostic Capture
An inquiry into how diagnoses travel among clinical, administrative, research, and technical settings.
Diagnoses move through notes, referrals, billing systems, datasets, and automated tools. In each setting, a category may acquire a different function and a different audience.
The developing research follows that movement. How does institutional reuse alter an interpretation? What evidence travels with it, and what gets left behind? Under what conditions can later testimony change an inherited account?
