Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The application, integration and development of methods and technology facilitating the seamless interchange of clinical, demographic and administrative information presented the medical and clinical community with unforeseen problems. Surprisingly, the wealth of existing solutions did not find the expected application and acceptance in hospital/General Practice environments. Even more surprising was the fact of the failure of many computer-based solutions to deliver the expected benefits. This paper outlines the Telematics project established in the Northern United Kingdom and its success in maintaining a working balance between technological needs and the clinical requirements. The result is a robust service linking five major Trusts and 12 General Practices in terms of clinical and administrative data, e-mail and other facilities.
