| Abstract | The objective of this paper is to show how a fairly simple technique can provide a possible feedback loop to a health service system. A study on patients with lung cancer in East Anglia, UK is used as an example. Using information which was more or less routinely collected in cancer registration, the study showed that there was no significant difference between the survival of patients seen in the eight districts in East Anglia. While the methodology requires refinement and substantial local difficulties may arise, developemnt of similar researches on the outcome of care should be encouraged in Hong Kong. |
