Things that would make those quantifiers very rich: (1) Objectively assessing the severity of illness, regardless of what illness (or constellation thereof) the patient had. (2) Objectively assessing the degree to which a physician's intervention improved an outcome, and the distance between the true outcome and the best outcome (and the null / no treatment outcome). I think that those two make medicine qualitatively more difficult to quantify in a useful fashion. (Though there are lots of useless ways to quantify medical interventions and physicians.) If you think you have some good ideas for solving those two problems, you have the chance to become very rich; please contact me if so (seriously).
