As we honor Mental Health Month, there are many calls to reduce suffering. Seems reasonable, right? It’s even in California’s Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), where public systems are called to “reduce subjective suffering.” And as we broadly focus more on outcomes in health, measuring suffering (and hopefully its reduction)
Para quienes trabajamos en el mundo de la analítica, nos resulta cada vez más sencillo explicar cuál es el impacto social de nuestro trabajo y por qué el desarrollo de esta ciencia -que tomamos profesionalmente- es un tema que nos apasiona tanto. Nosotros sabemos que la analítica es capaz de cambiar el
