We begin with the inescapable observation that healthcare informatics is merely one of the many endeavors that is following a turbulent but nearly inescapable path into a digital future. Our objective in this paper is to describe as best we can the overall geography of the general path we appear to be on, to anticipate some of our future checkpoints along the way, to identify some of the roughest transitional passages, and to offer this as one guide among many to those who have volunteered to do the steering into this exciting, electronic unknown.
医疗信息学只是众多正沿着一条动荡但几乎不可避免的道路迈向数字未来的努力之一。本文的目的是尽我们所能描述我们似乎正在踏上的总体路径的全貌，预测沿途一些未来的关键节点，识别一些最艰难的过渡阶段，并将此作为众多指南之一，提供给那些自愿掌舵驶入这个令人兴奋的电子未知领域的人。
