Ten ways to improve information technology in the NHS * Commentary: improve the quality of the consultation * Commentary: Clinical focus might make it work

Abstract

I have a request for [Richard Granger], the newly appointed director general of NHS Information Technology,1 who is responsible for implementing the government's ambitious and very costly plans for the use of information technology in the NHS.2 My request to Mr Granger is this: please can you implement an information technology programme that supports me in my clinical practice, helps to improve the quality of care I provide, and allows me to run my general practice more efficiently.
