Quality assurance in primary care with information management and technology

C. Roberts

Institute of General Practice and Primary Care, The University of Sheffield, Community Sciences Centre, Northern General Hospital, Herries Road, Sheffield S5 7AU, UK, c.roberts1{at}sheffield.ac.uk

The Information Management and Technology (IM&T) Strategy for the UK National Health Service (NHS) is one of systems integration with an emphasis on improved communications and data accessibility using a common operational system. This strategy is examined within the framework of strategic analysis. The suitability of the IM&T strategy, as applied to quality assurance in primary care, is discussed in terms of strategic logic, research evidence and cultural fit. Emerging technologies such as expert systems and the Internet, require further research evidence before considering their suitability for inclusion in an NHS wide strategy.
