Hello,
The number of "Computerised" Practices in the UK is >90% but
"real time" use is a different matter. The intrusion hasn't realised
much advantage when "face to face" with a patient. However, the
consultation with a General Practitioner will continue to provide the
most valuable morbidity data, as long as the information can be suitably
recorded.
