I am (almost – one year to go!) a doctor in the NHS with an interest in the application of computing solutions in healthcare. Implemented correctly, healthcare computing solutions have the potential to revolutionise the NHS, improve efficiency, drastically improve people’s day-to-day working lives and enhance the quality and safety of care-provision to patients. On the other hand, if implemented haphazardly, without thought to the end-user and their workflow practices, they are doomed to costly failure.
I want to use these pages to discuss everything IT in healthcare: from national government policy to local bright-ideas. I’d like people with knowledge, influence or simply just an interest to comment and contribute their thoughts.
