I detailed a system for amalgamating GPs' views on the rank-ordering
for urgency of all their patients wiho outstanding referrals in
order to give specialists a reproducible ordering across all the
patients on their waiting or OPD lists, incidentally producing as a
by-product a satisfactory indication of which specialty was in fact
the most urgently in need of attention should resources become
available.
There was some discussion of it and matters around it on GP-UK a
year or so ago. It produced one of those silences where everyone
was quite clearly thinking that when somebody asks "what could be
done to improve this" what they actually expect is to hear Dr
Pangloss expounding on the virtues of the best of all possible
worlds, or at a pinch Marvin[1] explianing that everything is dreadful
- not somebody actually giving an answer.
