Description

Information technology will profoundly affect how medicine is practised and healthcare delivered. Past attempts to develop an IT strategy in the National Health Service have been plagued by failure and scandals. It is vital to learn from such mistakes, and to this end experts and practitioners report on aspects of IT in the NHS to set a new agenda for the millennium.
