The benefits of information technology across all sectors are well recognised when they are realised:

individual
INTERPERSONAL : SCIENCES
humanistic ------------------------------------------- mechanistic
SOCIOLOGY : POLITICAL
group
creativity
usability
readiness to hand
context

information storage and retrieval, access, efficiency, space, security, information sharing, patient safety, legibility

digital inclusion

cost, savings, governance, reporting (locally, nationally, internationally), policy integration



As we head towards a paperless NHS let's not forget that health care is both an art and a science.
