Primary care IT is provided by many different software providers but the majority work with two systems: EMIS Web and SystmOne.

In order to participate in research in primary care each practice is required to use their software system to search data. This is a complex and time consuming process which creates an increased margin for error within each practice and across practices.

The aim of East of England Digital Research Solution is to support and develop the IT framework and tools for research in Primary Care. Making them easily available to GP practices involved in research, reduces administrative burden and improves recruitment and involvement in research studies.

The basic concept is to utilise EMIS Web and SystmOne to develop searches, pop-ups and templates which are detailed, accurate and quality assured.  

These IT solutions will be shared electronically using this website and, where possible, the clinic system's sharing platforms across the across the East of England region.
