From the Executive Summary

In late January 1997, the Department of Health and Family Services (DH&FS) General Practice
Branch (GPB) engaged the IBM Consulting Group to conduct a project to deliver an appropriate
functional requirements specification and supporting technical framework for Clinical and
Administrative General Practice Computer Systems (GPCS) that will ultimately lead to widespread
adoption and use by practitioners, and to investigate and report a broad range of issues surrounding
the development, utility, adoption and effective use of the GPCS.
