And arm the patient to be able to have that conversation with their doctor so that it becomes a much more informed decision about what I'll have now, what I might have tomorrow, or what I might have later if A and B don't work.
So the atlas is um very much a collaborative effort um between the states and territories and between the colleges and professional groups and consumers to work out what are the things that we should be looking at in the atlas, for example antibiotics.
and prescribing in the elderly.
So there'll be some things about prescribing, there'll be some things about investigation and procedures.
So there'll be quite a broad range of things that we'll be putting together.
One of the limitations at times can be getting the data.
Certainly though we're getting better at that.
These are conversations that are occurring at the moment to say, well, okay, you really need to be doing X amount of procedures to be good at it.
Yes, y you might have that.
But to a large extent I think when you ha start to have those
conversations people do get to recognise that if you s separate the person from the problem, the problem is nobody really wants somebody to be not getting the best outcomes and you just chip away.
And I think you get to a point where people recognise that expertise and best patient outcomes and showing the data, it's pretty hard to stand by data that doesn't actually say this is the best thing for the uh population.
I think you chip away.
It depends on how far you want to get how fast.
But I think we're going in the right direction.

But we know that some of that variation isn't explained by those two factors.
And I think the best example is that going back to 1938 when a doctor called Glover looked at the incidence of tonsillectomy in the UK and showed vast differences between districts and over time.
And he couldn't explain that variation.
