Horst,
The personalization (as Wayne defined it) paradigm could work somewhat if
you have the receptionist "register" the patient/referral into the
"persona" of the particular MD. This way, he will have a short list of
_his_ patients instead of the whole hospital registry.
Just curious: when would an MD need to look at more than 1000 names (900+
of which are not his and therefore should not be accessible to him)?
