We're encouraging a similar approach, e.g. one hospital and local GPs want to agree on sub-set of condition codes to be used in immediate discharge letters. But how to handle exceptions? (since it would not be on to have to shoehorn things into the wrong category)....simple free-text. Perhaps folk like Adrian knows the answer to this: can current systems be induced to print out a frequency count of codes used, descendingly sorted?
