Practice computing is a good example. We had 9 clinical computer users back in 1999, and between the PIP, though lots of computerised practices aren't PIP registered, though probably the majority are plus training and support, we're now at around 140 GPs using clinical computing. Still low by many divisions'stndards but we have lots of solo, bulk-billing overseas trained from NESB and non-European backgrounds, so their are lots of hurdles to overcome. Just a pity that the PIP had stagnated for so long and didn't encourage GPs to do more things. That was left to our training, without other incentives, and things like the pathology companies offering to install messaging for results for free. You should volunteer to give your de-identified data to your Division, Cedric.
