export PDFA Baseline Study on the National Programme for IT
Over the next ten years, the National Programme for IT will connect over 30,000 GPs in England to almost 300 hospitals. It will create an information infrastructure, allowing healthcare professionals access to patient information whenever and wherever it is needed, which will improve patient care by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of clinicians and other NHS staff. The programme will also give patients access to their personal health and care information. The full report is split into five chapters. Chapter One explores the extent to which Doctors, Nurses, AHPs, NHS Managers, IM&T Managers and Practice Managers/Administrators feel familiar with the National Programme for IT and the seven key services it aims to deliver. Chapter Two looks at how favourable or unfavourable staff groups are towards the programme and the services. Chapter Three describes the attitudes held by staff towards the programme as a whole, for example whether they believe the programme will improve patient care or make service planning easier. Chapter Four contains information about the level of involvement in rolling out the NPfIT and how easy or difficult the implementation will be in their view. And finally, Chapter Five looks at staff opinion regarding information provision and explores whether the sources currently used by staff to learn about the programme are compatible with those which staff would prefer to use in the future.
