title: Toward a standardised information system for dentistry.
abstract: Information technology is growing rapidly in both its capability and capacity to support the delivery of health care. This paper describes the work of the Dental Interspec project, commissioned by the Department of Health. The aim of the project is to provide a framework for the development of information management and technology in dentistry. It is hoped that the work of this project can be built on to eventually produce integrated information systems which would have the potential to improve primary dental care delivery for both patients and dentists.
