Health care information services in Ireland.

Against a background of fundamental change in the Irish health care environment, a research project was commissioned to determine the information needs of all health care practitioners (including physicians, allied health professionals, managers, scientists, and technicians) as well as the public, patients, and their caregivers. The research, including a study of international best practice, revealed serious deficiencies in access, awareness, and availability of information for both staff and patients in Ireland. Recommendations include the establishment of a panel to develop a comprehensive national health information strategy and plan to coordinate the future development of health sciences information services.
