Challenges to implementing the national programme for information technology (NPfIT): a qualitative study.
To describe the context for implementing the national programme for information technology (NPfIT) in England, actual and perceived barriers, and opportunities to facilitate implementation. ⋯ The sociocultural challenges to implementing the NPfIT are as daunting as the technical and logistical ones.
