David,
We got our computer (EMIS) on 5 2 92, but didn't get on to acute
prescribing routinely for about 6 months.It took about a year before all
the partners were using the computer routinely for all consultations and
acute prescribing.Repeat prescribing had been our first priority.
I can (from the currrent search) find which patients have had kenalog in
different years - but it means doing a report on different features and
then reading it through. It's a bit fidgety!
What about your patients? and what about involving a larger group?
Mary
PS If we all got together on this, i can see the opportunity of 2 papers
for somebody - management of hayfever in general practice , and
methodology in GP-UK computer based audit/research!
