Complexity of community care mounts insuperable barriers to technology adoption

The complexity of care may mean that technology advances cannot be adopted and their benefits not realised over the next 10 years at least. This is comparable with current/recent national IT initiatives where complexity has presented some as-yet insuperable challenges. In this case, the full potential benefits for patients, staff and employers are not realised as adoption continues to be piecemeal. The implication is that the workforce could be less efficient and effective.
