This paper looks at the development of health informatics from a segregated uni-disciplinary beginning to an environment in which multi-disciplinary health informatics and uni-disciplinary work co-exist reasonably harmoniously. However, the paper considers some of the catalysts and inhibitors which have made the transition not as smooth or wide ranging as the technological developments could have supported. Organisational and cultural factors appear to have played a part in the migration as it has emerged. Identification and understanding of the key issues may help in progressing health informatics towards a mature state.
本文探讨了健康信息学从孤立的单一学科起步,发展到多学科健康信息学与单一学科工作能够合理和谐共存的环境的过程。然而,本文也考虑了一些促成这一转变的因素和阻碍因素,这些因素导致转变过程并不像技术发展本可支持的那样顺利或广泛。组织和文化因素在这一转变过程中似乎起到了作用。识别和理解关键问题可能有助于推动健康信息学走向成熟状态。
