From Educational Harvesting to Productive Capacity: A Health Economics Framework for AI-Assisted Clinical Reasoning, Competency-Based Medical Education and Open Knowledge Infrastructure
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: A conceptual health economics framework for evaluating AI-assisted clinical reasoning education as an investment in human capital and shared productive infrastructure. It distinguishes three interdependent forms of capital (learner clinical-reasoning capital, institutional educational-process capital and shared digital-infrastructure capital), develops testable propositions and proposes an empirical evaluation framework, and distinguishes harvesting existing resources from cultivating future productive capacity. The deposit carries the manuscript (PDF, Word, LaTeX, Markdown) and slides; a scenario model in Python with an identical browser twin; six Colab notebooks for medicos (capital formation, cost-effectiveness, the cultivation game, a health IT and health-tech AI lab, a formula and document conversion workbench, and minting with Misty DOI); and the evidence state of every reference.
