For anyone building clinical systems, a core source document is the NHS
Requirements for Accreditation RFA99 version 1.1 dated Feb 2001. This is
available at http://www.standards.nhsia.nhs.uk/spg/rfa/rfa99v1_1.zip. This
is mandatory for UK primary care, but is largely good practice, so should be
widely applicable. There are, of course, some local idiosyncracies, but
these should be largely self-evident.
