As we transition our first Active Semantic Documents application, Active Semantic Electronic Medical Record into our partner organization, a cardiology practice (see http://www.w3.org/2005/04/swls/ or http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/asdoc/ ) we have an opportunity to measure effectiveness of a SW technology in a live setting. In this context, I am looking for norms/studies that could give us percentage of medical records that have errors/imperfections of a particular type (eg, drug-drug interaction, failure to check on allergy, %age of cases when patient could have been prescribed same class of drug that is cheaper, etc.). Thoughts on exactly what to measure (please see the demo <http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/asdoc/index.php?page=1> so you could see what could be relevant) would be welcome too. So far we have planned to log each rule activation/violation (drug interaction, drug allergy, %age time physician changed the drug based on preference/cheaper alternative based on patient's insurance, diagnosis-treatment mismatch, etc.). Thanks in advance, Amit Sheth
