Abstract
The purpose of the electronic health record—now the NHS Care Record Service—is twofold. Firstly, to provide support for the clinical team to help them recall and communicate health status and treatments for patients in a coordinated way, and, secondly, to act as the source of statistical information on types of patients seen and the process and outcomes of their treatment. Although there was much expectation that these goals could be achieved, there was little evidence to prove that this was the case for the original strategy and its subsequent refreshes.2 For that reason, the NHS Information Authority sponsored 18 pilot projects which ran from April 2000 to March 2003 to test the concepts in several locations.
