GP Fanfare A New Approach to Information Management for GPs
Data, data, everywhere! • Referral forms • New and revised services • Pathways, guidelines and protocols • Alerts • Contact details
A shrinking NHS • 85% and reducing • Increasingly tightly controlled by GP commissioners • Information management getting easier
A growing independent & voluntary sector • 15% and increasing • More and more choices • Controlled by no-one • Information management getting harder
Ever-increasing specialisation • Specialities and sub-specialities • Niche services
A changing workforce • More sessional and locum work • More part timers • Greater mobility • “Time out” • Sabbaticals • Maternity leave
Better-informed patients • Often know what they want • Don’t know how to access what they want • Need the GP to be a “navigator”
Increasing pressure to do more in the consultation • Matching PUNs (Patients’ Unmet Needs) with EARs (Easily Accessible Resources) • Niche need with niche resource
The problems with web listings... • Not comprehensive – independent and voluntary sector often poorly represented • Keeping documents up to date - very administrator-dependent • Not always easily searchable
