Abstract
In 1992 the Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG) started a pro ject, which lasted until May 1994. The project had three major objecti ves: - establishing as exactly as possible what benefits we gain from using an Electronic Medical Dossier (EMD) can we find an influence on the quality of care? Which drawbacks or problems are there - advising on the optimal use of an EMD; What is the best place to record certain data? - advising the Working Committee on Informatics (WCIA), of Dutc h National Association of General Practitioners (LHV) and NHG on the d irections for the new Reference Model 1995. To obtain these goals pane l discussions and a questionnaire were used. The project resulted in a dvice on how to use the EMD in the most efficient way. Also we have le arned about the use of GP-information systems and the perception about this usage by the Dutch GPs.
