> With regard to the above, we have evidence that some 30% of General
> Practitioners use the PRODIGY computer-based decision support system
> during consultations with patients. The system is completely
> evidence-based and includes guidance on prescribing. If you would like to
> know more about PRODIGY please visit the web site at www.prodigy.nhs.uk
> where you can access the guidance browser which will clearly show the
> evidence upon which the guidance is produced.
