The Health Management Information System (HMIS) project initiated by the Ministry of Health as a component of the healthcare reform is aiming to ensure the technical, functional and operative support for: i) a better overview of the population health status, of the medical care needs and of the Health System performances; ii) the improvement of the resource allocation and consumption; iii) reform support. This system is supposed to assure a better information flow from the lower to the upper levels of the healthcare network by help of a modern IT support. In the first development stage the system is planned to link the Ministry of Health with the 41 District Health Authorities (DHAs) and with more than 200 pilot health units. The implementation of such a large system raises serious problems of acceptability and a thorough training programme for both technical staff and end users must be considered in order to face this challenge.
Growing consumer interest in health-related information has created a need for professionals to manage, provide, and interpret such material. In preparing for the new demands of the market, HIM professionals can learn from the example of medical librarians, who are already working to meet those needs.

A report of the study sponsored by Allan Brooking NHS Travel Fellowship which was carried out in October 1982 is presented. The author's findings for the visit, discussion and conclusion are given. The visit to West Germany was centred on a full-time school at the University of Ulm. The University course accepts 35 students per year and lasts for three years. The syllabus is broadly similar to that used in the UK, there was, however, considerable bias towards computing and statistics. In addition to extensive theory, emphasis was placed on practical work in the University and in the field. The course has a formal structure of examinations and final assessment on a student dissertation. After graduation 60% of the students were employed in the private sector, 25% worked in hospitals and 15% in research work.
