Main Methods:

  • Literature review and analysis of existing discussions on NHS information management.
  • Examination of the NHS Information Management and Technology Strategy documentation.
  • Identification and analysis of potential challenges in IT infrastructure implementation.

Main Results:

  • Despite significant investment and strategic direction, the potential of computer systems for NHS information management has been underexplored.
  • Several key challenges must be addressed for successful IT infrastructure implementation.
  • Five specific issues are identified as critical determinants for the strategy's success.

Conclusions:

  • The successful implementation of the NHS Information Management and Technology Strategy hinges on addressing specific challenges.
  • Proactive discussion and planning for computer system integration are essential for effective information management in the NHS.
  • Addressing these five key issues will be crucial for realizing the strategy's objectives and maximizing IT investments.
