This article is a companion to "Computerized Medical Records--the Need for a Standard" which appeared in the March 1990 issue of JAMRA. The author has created a workable image of the future with these two articles. In this vision of the future, the control of information appears as one of the greatest medical advances of all history, and the stewards of medical data take an honored position in patient care and research. The author requests that readers be critical in their evaluation of these articles. Great expense and the health of millions will depend upon timely definition of the optimal medical record. Such a task deserves the attention of many minds. We sincerely hope that these articles will elicit lively dialogue.
本文是《计算机化病历——标准之必要》的姊妹篇,后者发表于1990年3月的《美国医学记录协会杂志》。作者通过这两篇文章勾勒出了一幅切实可行的未来图景。在这幅未来图景中,信息控制似乎是有史以来最伟大的医学进步之一,而医学数据的管理者在患者护理和研究中占据着受人尊敬的地位。作者要求读者在评估这些文章时持批判性态度。巨大的成本以及数百万人的健康将取决于对最佳病历的及时定义。这样一项任务值得众多人士关注。我们真诚希望这些文章能引发热烈的讨论。
