The general consensus is that it is of very limited benefit to a few and of no benefit at all to most of the population. This is reflected in the low level of engagement to date. <br /><br />The use of health summaries as a proxy for health Bruce Farnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895794526347112930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-41889681339633949052016-07-17T22:02:34.144+10:002016-07-17T22:02:34.144+10:00"The only figure that would demonstrate value..."The only figure that would demonstrate value for money is the number of document downloads."<br /><br />I don't think even that shows value for money. Downloads/access are a necessary but not sufficient indication.<br /><br />IMHO, the only value comes from improved health care and/or reduced health care costs.<br /><br />How this was/is to be measured should have been included in Bernard Robertson-Dunnhttp://www.problemsfirst.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-10918130845845386872016-07-17T17:53:51.847+10:002016-07-17T17:53:51.847+10:00To equate 'usage' with uploading informati...To equate 'usage' with uploading information is no slight of hand; far from it Surely you can see what's coming next. ePIP incentives will soon be measured the number of health summary downloads a practice makes.
