many uncontrollable variables?
Surely one of the primary care representative or training bodies has to
promote or take this up as an important research area? There is lots of
stuff that suggests some benefits from overseas, notably BMJ, that I've
seen over the past few years.
EHR data manipulation is
still a complete mess of course with no obvious solution on the horizon. ;-(
David,
With Divisions needing to extract patient-level data over the next few
years to continue meeting our funding contract goals, this will become
an increasingly interesting area. Particularly if MS SQL becomes the
dominant database technology in the market place.
Third-party extraction tools for MD2/Spectrum Classic/FoxPro abound, but
MS SQL may give the vendors the whip-hand.
