This article examines the dramatic ways that information technology will influence clinical care, strategic management, and organization of the health care delivery system in the years ahead. Advancements in microprocessors, telecommunications, mass storage of data and images, and input-output devices will be accompanied by increased use of health-related software packages. Standardized patient record formats and coding systems will facilitate system integration and networking of computers. Clinical decision support systems will assist physicians in medical diagnosis and treatment. Computer-enhanced medical imaging and other noninvasive procedures will reduce surgery, patient pain and discomfort, and lower costs. Automation will get closer to the patient. Management information and decision support systems will be central to effective management in a highly competitive environment. Information systems will support strategic planning, cost control, productivity enhancement, quality improvement, and evaluation of products and services.
