(doesn't this depend on how the whole practice is entering data in the first place?..garbage in- garbage out...) Who wants 'em - and why? ;-> Mary PS if suppliers are developing software for this, and it isn't something most users need, do we actually want them to devote time - and money - to it? If the need for such software comes from either the NHS Executive or the HA, shouldn't the development be funded from monies outside GMS? and if you're an EMIS user, what are the *extra* features which would stop you getting the data either by an audit or search - or by using MIQUEST? I'm not trying to be difficult - really would like to know.. -- Mary Hawking Kingsbury Court Surgery Church Street Dunstable Beds LU5 4RS tel:01582 601289 (home) 01582 663218 (surgery) fax:01582 476488 (surgery) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
