A scoping activity was undertaken to explore the opportunities and challenges of health IT integration in the Australian general practice setting. Three studies were completed that:

• Described the current health IT infrastructure, policies and initiatives relating to health technology,
• Evaluated the international peer reviewed literature on technology use in the general practice setting (including palliative care), and
• Presented a case study of an integrated health IT ecosystem of Portugal.
