AB We  have  covered  a  lot  of  ground  so  far  in  this  book,  reviewing  multiple  methods  ranging  from  medical  research  to  automotive  manufacturing  to  machine  learning.  Our  goal  is  to  improve,  measure,  and  evaluate  changes  in  healthcare  delivery.  But  fundamentally,  we  are  interested  in  whether  a  change  in  the  care  we  provide  benefits  patients  and  is  not  merely  associated  with  a  benefit.  Does  the  availability  of  board-certified  intensivists  improve  the  care  of  the  critically  ill  at  night?1  Does  the  introduction  of  an  electronic  health  record  (EHR)  improve  or  harm  the  care  of  patients?2  How  can  we  know  when  our  interventions  have  actually  made  a  difference  to  our  patients?
