In this video, Kelly Alhooie argues that conventional medical practice is overly constrained by a narrow, diagnosis‑code‑centric approach. She explains that when clinicians follow the traditional route, they tend to focus exclusively on the single diagnosis code that brought the patient in, which limits the scope of care, overlooks comorbidities, and prevents a holistic view of the patient’s health. The critique sets the stage for a broader discussion about the need for more integrative, patient‑centered models that consider the whole clinical picture rather than a single label.
