Primary Care Computing in the U.K.
Conference paper
Abstract
The functions of computer systems in use in primary care in the U.K. are dictated by the limitations of inexpensive microcomputers and the almost unique method of delivery of primary care within the National Health Service (NHS). The NHS has some similarities in Italy, and to a lesser extent, Holland and Scandinavia. Only a tiny proportion of primary care in the U.K. is delivered privately and will not be considered in this paper.
