The General Practitioner (GP) is at the hub of PHC services performing a crucial role in the system. The hallmarks of the GP's role is the continuity of care and the holistic approach, encompassing all of the patients needs. The unique and privileged feature is his/her potential to be a real health agent practising with a preventative approach and providing care on a patient oriented basis. Within the principal objective of ISAAC to develop information technology support the project aims at the definition of a global architecture valid for the GP all around Europe. This is achieved with the definition of a functional model describing the GP functions and contributing to the organisation, understanding and standardisation of General Practice functions. Professionals from PHC area are extensively involved in the project. ISAAC has the goal of prototyping a system which gives adequate support to the requirements of a local information processing environment and of the needs of integration with other components of the Health Care System. The project is very much concerned on the design of a useful and usable medical workstation for day-to-day patient care and on the definition of an Integration Architecture dealing with the PHC environment.
