Web-based patient information systems are an emerging tool in the drive towards improving efficiency and effectiveness of health care. Providers and health plans may be able to achieve three key objectives with these systems: improve the health status of patients, improve marketing programs, and reduce costs. To discover what we know about these systems, we examine how they perform today, review the trends that are shaping their development, present a case study of a large East Coast HMO, and postulate future trends.
基于网络的患者信息系统是推动提高医疗保健效率和效果过程中出现的一种工具。医疗服务提供者和健康计划机构利用这些系统或许能够实现三个关键目标：改善患者的健康状况、改进营销计划以及降低成本。为了弄清楚我们对这些系统的了解情况，我们研究它们目前的运行情况，审视影响其发展的趋势，展示一个东海岸大型健康维护组织（HMO）的案例研究，并推测未来的趋势。
