Attention to the quality of information in design of a medical information system is fundamental to the success of that system. This point is made using WWI and WWII combat casualty statistics. While the analyses presented are legitimate, serious problems of interpretation arise from the operational definitions used in gathering and analyzing these data. The impact of this is illustrated in a hypothetical battle, a model emphasizing the introduction of biases resulting from an apparent inattention to operational definitions on the part of combat care managers in WWII. The paper concludes with some broad recommendations.
在医学信息系统设计中关注信息质量是该系统成功的基础。这一点通过第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战的战斗伤亡统计数据得以体现。虽然所呈现的分析是合理的，但在收集和分析这些数据时所使用的操作定义引发了严重的解释问题。这一影响在一场假设的战斗中得到了说明，该模型强调了二战期间战斗护理管理人员明显忽视操作定义所导致的偏差。本文最后提出了一些广泛的建议。
