I would say #1 although #3 is a very close second.
My vote is for #3 – RSS feed
Feedback form
Hard to choose, but I’d probably choose the feedback form.
#1 – as you would teach folks more about conditional formatting.
You should them all :P
#1 but should do them all at some stage.
Number 1 would be the most useful to users.
I vote #2!
I say we would use #1 and #2 in our DoD hospital.
