The new coalition government should scrutinize spending for major IT projects in a pragmatic way, according to Michael Dean, head of marketing at IT organisation the NCC.
"Billions of pounds of cash has gone into the NHS's IT programme with the objective of creating a working electronic patient record system, yet the project has suffered major problems and is not fully operational," Mr Dean said.
He went on to say that the new government must study why such projects have not been completed and nurture a better management of other projects in the future.
Mr Dean also said that it was challenging to determine the exact impact the evaluation of government IT projects might have on public services with the little information available at this stage.
Separately, 78 per cent of hospital nurses and doctors identified real-time electronic patient records as a measure that would improve the NHS, according to a report published by GS1 UK.
