病人都在等待一個系統，可以查詢他們手術的成功機率，藉此提高健康系統的透明度。
Medical.routedoctor.com資料庫根據醫師的技術、經驗，使病人可輕易獲得諮詢，而不再只依賴家庭醫師的意見。
網頁上的資訊包含手術進行所需的時間、以及病人在手術過程中受到嚴重副作用的比例。
建構這個資料庫的泌尿科醫師Stephen Keoghane說，比如說有人等著髖關節的移植手術，能在這上面找到這種手術已被進行幾次，以及相關醫師在同儕之間所列的評價。
這個網頁力勸使用者謹慎使用資料，因為手術結果通常也被許多因素影響，像是病人的身體狀況、家庭收入等等。
Hampshire Clinic in Basingstoke前列腺癌專家Christopher Eden，已經將他的結果po上該網。他說，我已經等這類的網頁很久了，2010年來臨，若是病人還是無法了解手術過程，是一項時代的錯誤。
但是，英國病人協會主席(chief executive of the Patients Association)Katherine Murphy說，太多的手術出版資料，只會讓病人更困惑。
英國醫學會The British Medical Association補充，統計數據若不看資料上下文，將會被誤解內容。
英國健康部(The Department of Health)表示，將會在秋季宣佈NHS(國家健康系統)詳細的改革計畫，使民眾獲得更多真相。
英文原文：
Patients waiting for an operation can check their surgeon’s success rate on a website created to increase transparency in the health service.
The database will make it easier to pick a consultant on the basis of their skill and experience rather than having to rely on a GP referral, according to the surgeon behind Medical.routedoctor.com.
Information on the site includes the average time taken to complete an operation and the percentage of patients who suffer serious side-effects following the procedure.

| Transparency: Patients will now be able to check up on their surgeon with the launch of a new database |
Urologist Stephen Keoghane, who set up the website, said: ‘It means that someone waiting for a hip replacement, for example, will be able to find out how many of these operations a particular surgeon has done and how he or she rates against other doctors in their peer group.’
The site urges users to treat the data with caution because medical results are often influenced by factors such as living conditions and household income in the area.
Prostate cancer specialist Christopher Eden, of the Hampshire Clinic in Basingstoke, has posted his results on the site.
He said: ‘This is something I have been wanting to see for a long time. It is an anachronism in 2010 that patients have so little oversight over surgeons.’
But Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: ‘Having lots of different surgeons publishing data will just cause confusion for patients.’
The British Medical Association added that the statistics could be misinterpreted if taken out of context.
The Department of Health said it will announce details of its own ‘NHS information revolution’ in the autumn, giving people access to more facts.
