Connecting for Health, which runs much of the NHS’s £12.4bn National Programme for IT [NPfIT], is expected to be criticised in a government-funded report into "early-adopters" of online health records. A year-long study, the results of which are due to be published next week, is also expected to highlight criticisms of the government by some executives at NHS Connecting for Health [CfH]. The government wanted CfH to implement online health records quickly because of the high political profile of the scheme. This was despite the difficulties gaining support from clinicians, achieving the necessary changes within NHS organisations, and the technology being unproven.
