Site 2 of Trust1 had no LIS. Trust 1 implemented an e-Test on site 1 in 2001. The roll-out of this system on site 1 was completed across all specialties exceptmaternity by 2002.Trust 2 implemented the LIS component of a larger eTest in 2001 on both sites. Trust 2 attempted to implement the ordering component of a newe-Test in 2002 but this was not successful and the system remained predominantly paper-based throughout the study. Trust 2 implement the testbrowing component of a new e-Test on both sites in 2003 but this was not successful and the system remained predominantly paper-based.Trusts 3 and 4 had a LIS only throughout the study period, although Trust 4 had a facility for communicating individual test results to generalpractitioners electronically.12
