title: Development of a reminder system for general practitioners.
abstract: In this contribution we describe a prototype reminder system that has been developed to influence General Practitioners' (GP) test request behaviour. It is intended to substitute conventional written feedback by human experts. The system generates critical comments about the rationality of the test request at the moment the GP requests a test that is not in line with national or regional guidelines.
