Walk don't run : a collection of essays on information issues published to honour Mrs Edith Korner C.B.E., Chairman of the NHS/DHSS Health Services Information Steering Group 1980-84
An important consequence of the major changes now taking place in the structure and process of NHS management has been a realisation of the value of statistical information to decision making at all levels. The NHS/DHSS Health Services Information Steering Group, chaired by Mrs Edith Korner for whom this festschrift has been compiled, has made a major contribution to the understanding and development of information systems. Its work and impact are described in fifteen essays by health service managers, clinicians and academic researchers.
