It's a bit of a two-edged sword. It's important that patient information is protected, but you certainly want to make sure you have quite a rich database of information to enable you to manage the system effectively.
Some really careful thought has to be given to some of these definitional issues. If we're concerned about the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system in general, a lot of this information relating to utilization—whether it's utilization of operating theatres, drugs, or whatever—has to be collected, disclosed, and analysed in a way that helps us make improvements to the system.
The critical piece is that the information needs to be collected, but there need to be some peer reviews so it isn't interpreted and used without some serious consideration of other factors that might be influencing utilization. The peer review piece is important in how it gets used.
