It needs to be more than just graphs to the CEO... the CEO is not treating the patients in the ER. The practice manager is not treating the patients in the GP consulting room. The epidemiologist is getting caught up in the numbers and looking to do the monthly report. Wouldn't it be better that once a threshold of something occurs eg. antibiotic for URTI greater than 20% (not the best example) we implement our electronic reminder for practitioners in the clinical application that URTIs don't need antibiotics... the value of the information is actually implementing change.
