The IAIMS concept calls for the logical integration of information derived from databases in the functional areas of administration, clinical care, education, libraries, and research. To accomplish this task a technological base must be established. It is suggested that such an infrastructure will consist of a systems component, the linked databases component, and a management component. An IAIMS should rapidly evolve into an information utility and, within a decade, provide a knowledge management system.
综合先进的信息管理系统（IAIMS）概念要求将源自管理、临床护理、教育、图书馆及研究等功能领域数据库的信息进行逻辑整合。为完成此项任务，必须建立一个技术基础。建议这样的基础设施应包括一个系统组件、链接数据库组件及一个管理组件。一个IAIMS应迅速发展成为一种信息设施，并在十年内提供一个知识管理系统。
