NHS Chooses GP Enterprise As System Of Choice
Seetec is one of eight suppliers who have been awarded
contracts for supplying IT systems to GP's in England, under the GP
Systems of Choice (GPSoC) scheme which is part of the National
Programme for IT (NPfIT)
The NPfIT which is said to be the world's biggest civil
information technology program will connect England's 30,000 GPs to
300 hospitals allowing access to all patient records by health
professionals and patients. Under the original plans for the
NPfIT, GP practice systems were to be provided through five
regional local service providers (LSPs) but GP's complained that a
supplier monopoly was being created killing innovation and
increasing cost.
Under this scheme, GP's will be able to select their preferred
IT system from a list of suppliers who have all met the minimum
standards as set down by the NHS IT plan. This is positive
news for Seetec's GP Enterprise clients who can now continue using
our system and for future long term growth of GP Enterprise in the
NHS market.
