The broad objective was to develop an information system which integrates various sources of clinical data and facilities outcome assessment for patients evaluated in a lumbar spine service. During a patient encounter, the physician formulates a hypothesis regarding appropriate forms of treatment and he or she may then use this system to explore previous treatment outcomes for similar cases. The availability of a clinical tool that presents information in an outcome-oriented format may be highly relevant to the delivery of cost-efficient, high-quality health care and also create a formal mechanism for detecting practice variability. |
