Multiple streams & interactive sessions will address these issues and
more:
ˇ why effective IM&T is essential if CEOs are to deliver on NHS
Plan and NSF targets
ˇ do we need a single supplier for IT systems in primary care?
ˇ can PCTs access patient lists under PMS and what are the
implications?
ˇ electronic records and the Red Book / GP computer reimbursement
policy
ˇ electronic prescribing and prescription transfer: ethical and
accountability issues
ˇ that our approach to health IM&T must change
ˇ engaging the non-computerised / GP technophobe
ˇ can the PCG/T harness the power of IM&T to help deliver on
public involvement targets?
ˇ how to avoid duplication of effort and the excessive requirement
for human resources in setting up disease registers and delivering on
NSF milestones
ˇ protecting data in practice systems, and regulations on patient
consent
ˇ what technology developments are around the corner and what
applications have they for health care?
ˇ PLUS successful features from previous years will also be
included e.g. a suppliers' exhibition and a stream for those working in
an IT Facilitator role.
A number of flyers have been mailed to the PCO and HA/HB headquarters
and we hope these have passed on to you. However, as the post has been
unreliable recently, the programme and registration form is attached.
You can register as an individual or as part of a group for either or
both days; for a limited time there is a special offer for NHS groups -
3 for 2. Overnight accommodation can also be arranged.
We do hope you will be interested in and free to participate.
