Why do seemingly useful models fail to improve clinical outcomes when implemented? Resource constraints. In this paper, we describe constraints, how they affect net benefit, and how they apply to other measures. Paper: https://t.co/pSMUqwyjD4 R pkg: https://t.co/id08GLwZcz

Surgery folks, even though this is based around psychology, this is a great resource well worth a read through.
