Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: In a large database of EMR records,  explore: 1) completeness in capture of bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores required for diagnosis of osteoporosis; 2) concordance of BMD exam information with other osteoporosis information; and 3) evidence of osteoporosis screening among fracture patients. To explore completeness of exam capture, BMD exams in the EMR re related to a provincial billing database. To explore concordance of information and screening rates, 7500 EMR records re revied for osteoporosis and fracture details. Results show that 98% of exams billed to the province for EMR patients re found in the EMR. Hover, documented osteoporosis was substantiated with BMD results only 55.8% of the time. Of 151 charts for fragility fracture patients, 1 in 4 contained no evidence of osteoporosis investigation. In summary, while EMR information about osteoporosis is of variable quality, EMR records shed light on osteoporosis management indicators and completely capture BMD results.

I am writing a research paper on a idea Capture of osteoporosis and fracture information in an electronic medical record database from primary care.
