This review examines broad issues of concern regarding the primary/secondary care interface. The main purpose was to identify areas of good practice which could be adapted for more general use. One of the most fundamental aspects identified was communication, which is discussed in some detail. Also covered are shared prescribing and disease management. The data suggest that the most effective system(s) of shared care has yet to be established. Further qualitative and economic evaluations are required, taking into account patient preferences. Although the literature does describe certain practice exemplars, it is clear that inter- and intra-professional communication continues to be a problem. Whilst information technology may provide some of the solutions, it is concluded that a culture change, which compels health professionals to make sharing of patient information a much higher priority, is required.
