Background:

General practice increasingly requires efficient information management systems.
Existing practice management systems often lack comprehensive clinical support features.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) supports technological advancements in primary care.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and implement a computer-assisted system for everyday general practice.
To provide functionalities beyond traditional accounting and practice management.
To explore the utility of network hardware in a general practice setting.

Main Methods:

A three-year research and development project was undertaken.
A novel 'network' computer hardware system was installed.
The system was designed to integrate various clinical and administrative functions.

Main Results:

The developed system offers drug information, preventive programs, and patient recall.
It extends beyond basic accounting and practice management statistics.
New network hardware facilitates enhanced system capabilities.

Conclusions:

Computer assistance can significantly improve general practice operations.
Integrated systems offering clinical support are valuable for primary care.
Network hardware provides a foundation for advanced general practice IT solutions.
