This paper expresses my own opinions about the ‘state of the art’ in primary care informatics, but I would not have an opinion without the help, support and mentorship of many colleagues from around the world over many years. They are to be found in the Primary Health Care Specialist Group of the British Computer Society, the American Medical Informatics Association, the International Medical Informatics Association and the Wonca Primary Care Informatics Working Party, as well as my colleagues in PRIMIS.

Primary care informatics is beginning to find its feet as a scientific discipline, as evidenced by the increasing number of scientific papers published on the topic over the last three years, particularly those trying to establish the features that distinguish primary care informatics from health informatics more broadly. This paper provides a review of over a hundred scientific papers relating to primary care informatics, and speculates on future directions for primary care informatics.
