This book will provide General Practitioners and all members of the primary care team with a practical guide to understanding the range of electronic tools available for clinical computer systems and electronic patient records.

Filled with practical tips and advice it can be used by individuals or as a teaching resource for small group work. It ties together clinical governance and health informatics and shows how existing systems in primary care can enable and deliver clinical governance help with patient-focused care and organisational learning and teamwork.

Healthcare professionals (especially those involved in research), policy makers and shapers and healthcare academics should find this text to be of interest.
