Information and IT for Primary Care: Everything You Need to Know but are Afraid to Ask PDF

Preface

This book has been designed to help all personnel working in primary healthcare to establish and maintain information systems that are necessary for effective working. The book is timed to coincide with the advent of primary care groups (PCGs), and therefore is written primarily for people involved with PCGs. However, it works from the practice level up, so it should (!) interest all members of the primary care team.

It tries to do at least six impossible things:

1 Talk about information in an interesting way.

2 Show how information can actually be useful.

3 Explain how to get you to love your computer.

4 Make Read Codes interesting.

5 Help practices to share meaningful information.

6 Make you smile while reading a book about information.
