Who are we?
Founded in 2000, PRIMIS began with a mission to support general practitioners and their teams in adopting IT and embracing electronic health records (EHRs). Our early work focused on overcoming barriers to implementation, improving data quality, and helping clinicians see IT as an integrated tool for patient care, rather than a separate administrative task.
Twenty-five years on, this foundational work has helped transform primary care data in UK general practice into a powerful resource. Today, this data not only enhances individual patient care but also plays a vital role in national public health initiatives, informing policy decisions, driving quality improvement, and supporting research-led healthcare advancements.
At PRIMIS, we are proud of our legacy and remain committed to pioneering innovative solutions that unlock the full potential of primary care data, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes for all.
The work that PRIMIS undertakes supports:
- clinical decision-making and patient care
- public health surveillance and disease prevention
- population health management
- quality improvement
- health research and policy development
- digital health innovations
- operational efficiency and resource management
- scale and spread of the outputs of research
