Medical informatics has the potential to revolutionize patient care by providing every physician with rapid, easy access to the entire medical knowledge base. However, many changes are needed in the way systems are designed and physicians are trained before this potential can be realized. It is the shared responsibility of the medical informatics community, professional societies, academic organizations, and practitioners to accept the challenge of turning the power and promise of modern computer technology into useful tools for the care of patients.
医学信息学有潜力通过让每位医生能够快速、便捷地获取完整的医学知识库来彻底改变患者护理。然而，在实现这一潜力之前，系统设计方式和医生培训方式需要做出许多改变。医学信息学领域、专业协会、学术组织和从业者共同肩负着接受挑战的责任，即将现代计算机技术的力量和前景转化为照顾患者的有用工具。
