The new technologies and the importance of their development in primary care are clear. Technology is important insofar as it helps to resolve practical problems that arise when attempts are made to improve patient care. Many applications can be found under the heading of "new information and communication technologies" in healthcare, but the present article focusses on two of the most significant examples: the electronic health record and the Internet, bearing in mind that the aims being sought and the people using these applications are more significant than the technologies themselves.
新技术及其在初级医疗保健中的发展重要性是显而易见的。技术之所以重要，是因为它有助于解决在试图改善患者护理时出现的实际问题。在医疗保健领域，许多应用都可以归类于“新信息与通信技术”这一标题之下，但本文重点关注两个最重要的例子：电子健康记录和互联网，同时要记住，所追求的目标以及使用这些应用的人群比技术本身更为重要。
