Although this initiative aims to overcome limitations of current policies, two statistical properties of the proposed approach mean that it is unsuitable for classifying hospital performance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonhslks.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Contact the Library &amp; Knowledge Service<\/a> to request this article in full or Phn. 01704 704202<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Open standards publishing: an implementation plan \u2013 Department of Health<\/strong><br \/>\nThis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/454467\/Open_Standards_Implementation_acc.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">document <\/a>sets out the current position with regard to the publication and sharing of external documents.
