The EBMeDS reminders

Phase I: EBMeDS reminders specific to the visiting or caring patient and his/her clinical problem are generated when the practitioner uses the electronic patient record. During visits of intervention group patients the EBMeDS reminders will be shown on screen to the practitioner.

Phase II: As phase I and in addition, results of the Virtual Health Check (VHC) of all the intervention group patients will be shown to the practitioners.Phase II will be fulfilled in Autumn 2010 and follow-up time will be about 3 months.
