Our early work focused on supporting general practitioners and primary care teams to engage with information technology (IT) to improve patient care, enhance clinical practice and streamline administrative processes. Much of this involved identifying the barriers and facilitators to IT and developing solutions that were easily adopted and replicated across the UK.
PRIMIS facilitators, employed locally but trained and supported by us, were our essential partners in this quest and were instrumental in helping GP practices to effectively utilise data and IT tools to enhance patient care, ensure data quality, and implement best practices.
Aside from our work with GP practices, PRIMIS experts also supported national data collection activities: we contributed to the design and production of code groups for the National Diabetes Audit and for many years we worked working closely with colleagues from the University of Birmingham on testing the feasibility and validity of proposed indicators for the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF).
