In the new market-oriented UK National Health Service, hospitals succeed or fail on the quality of service they provide to their customers. It is therefore important that institutions like the Royal Brompton Hospital can meet the information and communication needs of General Practitioners and hospitals who use their services so that co-ordination between healthcare professionals involved in the co-operative care of individual patients can be ensured. One method of improving the relationship between healthcare professionals is by the use of consensus-based clinical protocols which define "best practice' co-operative care for a particular condition. The Royal Brompton Hospital has been a clinical partner in the AIM project DILEMMA which has been examining technology and methodologies for applying clinical protocols supported by telematics to general practice and shared care. A detailed requirements analysis has been carried out to look at the problems of shared care in cardiology and this has resulted in a demonstration system being developed to show how protocol-directed shared care and its supporting technology could be implemented to solve real clinical problems. Conclusions have been drawn that concern the use of protocols and information technology generally in routine clinical care.
