The Working Group 5 of the International Medical Informatics Associa- tion (IMIA) is dedicated to information systems in primary care with special emphasis on computer systems in the doctor's office. Accord- ingly, a conference was held in Hannover in 1980 where the first ap- proaches were described and experiences in system analysis, system construction and evaluation were discussed (Rienhoff, O. and Abrams, M.E. (eds.): The Computer in the Doctor's Office, North-Holland, Amsterdam: 1980). Computer hardware and software development has been rapid over the last years. Thus the prerequisites...

The Working Group 5 of the International Medical Informatics Associ- ation (IMIA) dedicates its work to information systems in primary and ambulatory care.
