The TiddlyManuals project which is supported by Jeremy Ruston at Osmosoft, Jon Lister, and Chris Dent at Peermore via TiddlyWeb may get close to your question.
We are using TW to develop a radical approach to "treatment manualization" in psychiatric/psychotherapeutic treatments for chaotic, complex high risk youth. Built in to our developing manual are validated outcomes meaures, but the "acid test" which is soon to come is whether we can convince practitioners that our highly interactive Wiki-based"workbook" is practical and helpful to them as a replacement for the bits of paper, serendipity, and 'play-your- hunches' approach that I am afraid many young people in our target group have been served with over the years. Part of the project is precisely driected at introducing scientific research methods to a field of work that to date has remarkably little robust evidence for "what works for whom"... the project is supported from a scientific/academic side by input from UCL (Prof Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis) and the Anna Freud Centre (a charitable research institute in N London) and has various pilot projects starting or about to start in NHS and non-statutroy settings around the UK. There are many other radical features in the TiddlyManual, not least that a team using this is empowered to add its own "notes in the margin" to the centrally-owned and evidence-based material, so that a distributed network of "attuned" versions of the manual develop (the features of TiddlyWeb make this possible) which each address slightly different populations/problem-sets, though using a common framework to approach these. The manual in its developing draft format is at: http://imp.peermore.com/imp/recipes/imp/tiddlers.wiki feedback is welcomed!
