We believe that some sort of prospective open access ongoing audit of such practice would be helpful to the profession. The suggested pattern of national audits after such closed-claim analysis was merely an observation on our part rather than a suggestion that this was any definitive national plan. There are only a limited number of such categorizations available, so it is very likely that such associations will appear to occur even if not planned in advance.
