The EBMeDS reminders	Behavioral	Phase I: EBMeDS reminders specific to the visiting or caring patient and his/her clinical problem are generated when the practitioner uses the electronic patient record. During visits of intervention group patients the EBMeDS reminders will be shown on screen to the practitioner. Phase II: As phase I and in addition, results of the Virtual Health Check (VHC) of all the intervention group patients will be shown to the practitioners.Phase II will be fulfilled in Autumn 2010 and follow-up time will be about 3 months.

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
The number of reminders triggered (in relation to the number of eligible patients, Ri/Ni) during repeated Virtual Health Checks (VHCs)	VHC will be performed once a week for the whole study population, beginning at baseline and before randomisation. The main outcome measure is Ri/Ni at follow-up time after commencement of the study where Ri is the total number of reminders triggered by the patient record data in intervention and in control group at the time of analysis, and Ni is the total number of patients.	Follow-up time max one and half year

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Specific clinical measures compared to an intervention and a control group	Clinical measures as mean values of laboratory parameters, for example a mean level of HbA1c, a mean level of total cholesterol.
