I think that most clinicians already do – they want to complete audit etc. But, they find that the output tools from EPR aren’t up to much and tend to head toward manual data collection.
Oddly, I think the tipping point is when EPRs are cloud based and AI is able to access and process data. Suddenly there is the capacity to make what is broadly analogue unsearchable data into true digital data. I think the AI robots will also assist the inputting of data in true digital terms to assist the process.
I dont think we are waiting for clinicians.

Nice use of data. The potential uses are almost endless. However, we need to get good at what works.
For us, the prediction of how long a patient will stay in hospital hasn’t been effective in terms of changing outcomes. The difficulty for us has been that the prediction of the future is based merely on the past. It worked well for A/E attendances, less well for ward discharges. If we dont flex our services to change the future, then predicting it didnt help us.
