At Baylor College of Medicine, we are developing the technical and intellectual resources needed to realize the Integrated Academic Information Management System (IAIMS) concept fully. The substantial technical, organizational, and financial commitments involved demand that we align our efforts with the strategic purposes of the college. The support of science, therefore, has become the principal, but not exclusive, focus of Baylor's IAIMS effort. Even so, the information technology architecture we have created for biomedical research is proving valuable in other settings as well. And the infrastructure we are creating--the communications architecture and the linkages to information resources--serves many purposes in addition to those of research. The architecture accommodates a diversity of workstations, networks, and informational and computational servers. This will be the greatest possible chance of transferring the fruits of our Phase III development to other academic medical centers.
在贝勒医学院，我们正在开发充分实现综合学术信息管理系统（IAIMS）概念所需的技术和智力资源。所涉及的大量技术、组织和资金投入要求我们使自己的工作与学院的战略目标保持一致。因此，对科研的支持已成为贝勒大学IAIMS工作的主要但并非唯一重点。即便如此，我们为生物医学研究创建的信息技术架构在其他环境中也证明很有价值。而且我们正在创建的基础设施——通信架构以及与信息资源的链接——除了科研用途外还服务于许多其他目的。该架构可容纳各种工作站、网络以及信息和计算服务器。这将是把我们第三阶段开发成果转移到其他学术医疗中心的最大机会。
