Once again, I think this discussion about de-identified data needs to be
watched closely. in many respcets it can't be useful to GPs if it is
de-identified, including to source, and even if the GP is identified,
he'll want to know who the problem patients are. The Adelaide West atlas
doesn't use de-identified data.

Greg, as I understand it, the data that the Atlas uses for its
funky graphs and maps is definately de-identified (from
a patient perspective).
Obviously the source is not de-identified - but that is
because each Atlas is done for a particular GP practice and
hence there is no doubt as to where the data came from!
