A survey of 1,179 Scottish practices produced an 81% response rate and gathered data about practice size, environment, state of computerisation as well as future plans for the use of computers in the practice. Results show that the majority of practices are already computerised and that over 90% will be computerised soon. A computer in the practice correlates especially with the presence of a practice manager, a practice nurse and training or teaching status. Scotland is unique in having a national software program (GPASS) for general practice administration. We estimate that by mid 1991 over 750 practices will be using GPASS.
一项针对1179家苏格兰医疗机构的调查,得到了81%的回复率,并收集了有关机构规模、环境、计算机化程度以及该机构未来计算机使用计划的数据。结果显示,大多数机构已经实现了计算机化,超过90%的机构很快也将实现计算机化。机构配备计算机尤其与机构经理、机构护士的存在以及培训或教学状况相关。苏格兰在拥有用于全科医疗管理的国家软件程序(GPASS)方面独具特色。我们估计,到1991年年中,将有超过750家机构使用GPASS。
