Abstract
The Internet and associated technology is transforming the dissemination of healthcare information. As this occurs, means must be developed to manage and coordinate it effectively. One approach is through community healthcare information networks (CHINs), which benefit both information providers and consumers. The paper reports on a regional CHIN operational in Scotland.
