Not the only real way, far from it, but currently the best way, and it has resulted in significant improvements. Patient history doesn't change the pathways of disease progression, but may contribute to the symptomatic manifestation of the diseases in question, then again, more factors can still be considered by creating a universal set of 1:1 mapping, I am suggesting a 1:1 mapping of pathological causes to pathological effects, which in turn go on to manifest as signs and symptoms, which may not be 1:1.
