| Annotation | Successive policy documents concerning older people's health and well-being have aimed to improve their care, by raising standards and promoting independence. These policies also emphasise the need for research to prevent disability, and reduce admission to hospitals and long-term care settings. This paper reports an evaluation in progress of a health technology approach designed to achieve these objectives. An "expert system" is described that is intended to improve older people's access to health and social care information, to enable service providers to review the health and social care of older people, and to allow planners to assess the needs of whole populations.
