The definition of the fiscal unit/family structure has enabled users of the FMIS, or family practices in Colorado and Wyoming, to maintain accurate, ongoing financial information on their patients. In turn, this structure has been a major incentive for maintaining accurate family information, and a distinct benefit to FMIS users. This article has presented the rationale, design, and method of implementation of the fiscal unit structure, with the intention of presenting this concept to others for use in other information systems used in maintaining family-oriented financial and medical information for medical practices.
财务单位/家庭结构的定义使科罗拉多州和怀俄明州的家庭医疗信息系统（FMIS）用户或家庭医疗实践能够持续维护有关其患者的准确财务信息。反过来，这种结构一直是维护准确家庭信息的主要动力，对FMIS用户来说是一项明显的好处。本文介绍了财务单位结构的基本原理、设计和实施方法，目的是将这一概念介绍给其他人，以便在用于维护医疗实践中以家庭为导向的财务和医疗信息的其他信息系统中使用。
