That's a problem that can be fixed. Very basic statistics is much simpler than most of things doctors have to learn about. The article explained it elegantly in a simple graphic. I find it hard to believe there is ever a time where collecting less data is an improvement. At worst the data doesn't change anything, but at best it gives you new information that improves outcomes. If more (correct) information is actually making outcomes worse, it's not the information's fault. It's the system using that information incorrectly.
