title: Nurses and IT: a survey of use among community clinical staff.
abstract: A survey investigated the use of information technology among community nurses and other staff in one primary care trust. Provision of IT was poor across all the staff studied, with health visitors and community nurses lagging slightly behind others. The reasons for the low levels of use need further research so that barriers to using IT can be overcome.
