The Connecting for Health website runs though the plans for overhaul of the NHS IT system (which I only really think about when I come across the regular news reports that about the programme is behind schedule and running over budget). A brief summary of what is in store:
The National Programme for IT is creating a multi-billion pound infrastructure, which will improve patient care by enabling clinicians and other NHS staff to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
It is doing this by:
- creating an NHS Care Records Service to improve the sharing of patients' records across the NHS with their consent
- making it easier and faster for GPs and other primary care staff to book hospital appointments for patients
- providing a system for the electronic transmission of prescriptions
- ensuring that the IT infrastructure can meet NHS needs now and in the future.

Most hospitals have clinical, financial, and departmental hospital software solutions, but they do not have a fully integrated hospital management system that is able to track and manage system-wide patient flow logistics in real-time.
Not only are they missing the software solutions the salaries paid to their employees are off the charts. For example the average Anesthesiologist salary in 2010 is $362,450, various factors like gender and experience level can affect salary. For a male Anesthesiologist, the average salary is $368,654 and for a female the average salary is $313,529. An anesthesiologist with 5 years or less experience is $339,005 and with more than 10 years experience has an average salary of $377,121. This Data came from the Locumtenens.com 2010 Anesthesiology Salary Survey http://www.locumtenens.com/anesthesiology-careers/anesthesiologist-salary-survey/
