This paper proposes, in words and pictures, a "fundamental theorem" to help clarify what informatics is and what it is not. In words, the theorem stipulates that a person working in partnership with an information resource is "better" than that same person unassisted. The theorem is applicable to health care, research, education, and administrative activities. Three corollaries to the theorem illustrate that informatics is more about people than technology; that in order for the theorem to hold, resources must be informative in addition to being correct; and that the theorem can fail to hold for reasons explained by understanding the interaction between the person and the resource.
本文通过文字和图片提出了一个“基本定理”，以帮助阐明信息学是什么以及不是什么。用文字表述，该定理规定，与信息资源合作的人比没有协助的同一个人“更出色”。该定理适用于医疗保健、研究、教育和行政活动。该定理的三个推论表明，信息学更多地关乎人而非技术；为使该定理成立，资源除了正确之外还必须具有信息性；并且由于理解人与资源之间的相互作用所解释的原因，该定理可能不成立。
