Rationale for a community strategy in the field of information and communications technologies applied to health care.

The challenge for Europe in the field of information and communications technologies applied to health care is that of addressing positively the problem of the widening gap between the expectations of the citizens of the type of care that can be made available and the limited resources to provide that care. If the expectations of the population are to be fulfilled, it will be necessary to find innovative ways of delivering health services and to do it more efficiently than has yet been the case. Advanced information and communications technologies will be important tools for Member States to achieve the levels of efficiency required. Based on the results of the Community AIM Exploratory Action, further collaborative work is required at EEC level to create an Integrated Health Information Environment (IHE) allowing essentially for integration, modularity and security.

Philadelphia-positive T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

A case of typical T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is reported in which, at diagnosis, 100% of bone marrow metaphases showed a Philadelphia (Ph) translocation, t(9;22). These cells completely disappeared following chemotherapy. The significance of the Ph chromosome in T and B leukemic cells is discussed.

Results of the international field trial with the Reason for Encounter Classification.

The Reason for Encounter Classification (RFEC) was designed by a WHO Working Party to classify the reasons why patients seek care at the primary care level. It is designed along two axes: Chapters and Components. Each chapter carries an alpha-code which is the first character of the basic 3-character alphanumeric code. Each chapter is subdivided into seven "components" carrying 2-digit numeric codes. The field trial was undertaken by family physicians and nurses in: Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Hungary, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway and the US. 90497 RFE's were analysed. Their distribution over the chapters and components characterize the content of international primary care. Listings with the most common RFE's in the participating countries reflect the cultural differences. It is concluded that the RFEC is not only feasible to classify reasons why patients seek care but also to classify the diagnosis and the process of primary care. As a result of this, the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) succeeds the RFEC.

Problem behaviour in primary health care.

Primary health care can be regarded as the boundary between society as a whole and the medical system. Many of the problems patients bring to doctors in primary care are concerned with their personalities and life situation, and can be considered together as problems of human behaviour.On being questioned in a waiting room, 15 per cent of patients considered their problem "psychosocial only", and an additional 13 to 14 per cent "both somatic and psychosocial".I believe that the concept of the primary health care team is particularly valuable in managing problems of behaviour, and nondoctor members of the team play a crucial role.In my opinion it is questionable whether people's life problems should be channelled through primary health care, but in the meanwhile it seems clear that in most western societies the fact is they are.
