Abstract

The ways of thinking in the manufacturing sciences are increasingly determining the rationality within medicine as a practical or action-based science. This technological paradigm infiltrates the field of medicine with the promise of increasing efficiency while simultaneously improving quality at various points in the system. Simple linear causal relationships generally need to be taken into account when manufacturing products. Even complex manufacturing processes can be broken down into the smallest units and, therefore, also be automated. The situation in complex systems such as the human body, however, is completely different. In order for doctors to be able to carry out their actions within this complex system, medicine as a science provides the physician with rules on the means that should be used to decide which remedy should be used, when and how. This judgment of which remedy should be used, when and how, what is known as the indication, is a central medical moment. This requires a power of judgment sharpened by experience. The indication, in turn, essentially determines the course of a disease and thus the quality of the treatment or the quality of result so often referred to these days.
