In this document the application of open information technology to assist in reforming healthcare systems of countries is being discussed. Present technologies demonstrated by HANSA in Western and Eastern Europe enable the integration of electronic patient records in existing systems, provide for flexibility and support the interoperability of different applications. However, computers and IT must not drive the required process of change. This is the responsibility of top management.
本文档讨论了利用开放信息技术协助各国医疗系统改革的应用情况。汉莎公司在西欧和东欧展示的现有技术能够将电子病历集成到现有系统中，具备灵活性并支持不同应用程序之间的互操作性。然而，计算机和信息技术不能驱动所需的变革进程。这是高层管理人员的责任。
