The Paperless Practice

This guide covers the practical aspects of computerization in general practice and how technological tools such as telemedicine, clinical messaging and the Internet can be used to streamline working. It should help practices and practitioners maximise the gains from technology and minimise the pain of transition. Information is provided on how practices can meet the Government's targets for transferring electronic records on the NHS net in a jargon-free and user-friendly style, and it can be dipped into as the practice extends its computer system and problems arise, or read through in a more structured way.
