You are right to be specific; "Ghost in the machine" evidence gathering from
routine practice including the referral process (i.e. the GP no longer should
play data enty clerk). By standardising across a sufficiently very large group,
randomised community trials could generate evidence based decision support that
at last might favourably influence patient care instead of just bean count.
Existing thin client proprietary software can do this as well actually assist in
all our clinical processes. I could go on but it would be better if we had a
series of conferences to jointly formulate the spec required. Then get it
properly sponsored and built to commercial standards of reliability.
