GPASS, General Practice Administration System Software,

Widely used (85% of all Scottish general medical practices) clinical record and practice administration software in Scottish General medical Practices. GPASS is developed and supported by the NHS Common Services Agency fo Scotland.

Originally UNIX based, GPASS was moved in the mid 1990's as NewGPASS onto a Windows platform.

Its development has often been criticised as sluggish and lagging behind other more sophisticated systems like EMIS and Vision. Many of its supporters though cite its public ownership as a positivum.

In Spring 2006 calls were made by many Scottish GPs including the professional leadership to abandon further development as the software was hopelessly out of date and "not fit for purpose"
