To find the material complement, skills and attitudes towards computers of professionals working in the Primary Care field in the Basque Autonomous Community.


METHODS
A descriptive study based on a personal questionnaire.


METHODS
Primary Care Centre of Osakidetza-Basque Health service.


RESULTS
Overall reply rate was 83.5%. The actual hardware complement was only 8% of that required. Hardware needs were calculated as 89 regular and 6 occasional outlets for each 100 professionals. A minimum of 27% of the network's professionals already used a computer. About 2,000 people needed first-contact training. Proficiency training needs oscillated between 25 and 50% of the staff in function of the type of software.


CONCLUSIONS
There is a significant equipment deficit. Professionals are highly sensitised to the reality of computerisation, as both the high rate of reply and the desire to acquire computer literacy confirm.
