About the Book

The management of information constitutes a critical challenge for modern general practice. This text makes an attempt at reviewing present thinking on information needs in the general practice arena both for doctors and patients. The expected escalation of available information is placed in an historical context using both professional and lay perspectives. Relevant information technology is described with particular emphasis on the introduction of computers into everyday practice - how they can help in diagnosis, treatment, management of the practice, communication and education. Written primarily by General Practitioners for General Practitioners, this book draws on the experience of other doctors as well as academics, administrators, researchers and those concerned with the patient.
