Summary
The PRODIGY project developed a guidance model for a national system, informed by two research phases and iterative design. This model is now being implemented for all General Practitioners in England.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Clinical Decision Support Systems
Background:
- The PRODIGY project aimed to improve healthcare delivery through a national guidance system.
- Previous research phases (1995-1998) involved extensive data collection and analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize findings from the initial PRODIGY research phases.
- To describe the guidance model for the national PRODIGY system's Release One.
Main Methods:
- Iterative design process involving general practices.
- Synthesis of findings from the first two research phases.
Main Results:
- Development of a guidance model for the PRODIGY system.
- Successful completion of two research phases involving 183 general practices.
Conclusions:
- The PRODIGY guidance model is ready for national implementation.
- Release One of the PRODIGY system is being rolled out to all General Practitioners in England (1999-2000).
