Despite the promise they hold out, implementing information and communication
technologies (ICTs) in clinical care has proven to be a very difficult
undertaking. More than a decade of efforts provide a picture of significant
public investments, resulting in both notable successes and some highly
publicised costly delays and failures. This has been accompanied by a failure
to achieve widespread understanding among the general public and the medical
profession of the benefits of electronic record keeping and information
exchange.

With consistent cross-country information on these issues largely absent, the
OECD has used lessons learned from case studies in Australia, Canada, the
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United States to identify the opportunities
offered by ICTs and to analyse under what conditions these technologies are
most likely to result in efficiency and quality-of-care improvements. The
findings highlight a number of practices or approaches that could usefully be
employed in efforts to improve and accelerate the adoption and use of these
technologies.
