Computers are poised to become key players in the delivery of health care, but are physicians ready for them? A recent conference on medical communication in the electronic era examined the potential of computers to assist in diagnosis, provide continuing medical education, disseminate evidence and research findings, and simplify practice management. However, delegates were told that even though many medical practices are computerized, it is often staff members and not physicians who use the technology. For computers to gain wider acceptance for medical purposes, physicians need to be made comfortable with their use at an early stage of training.
计算机有望成为医疗保健服务中的关键角色，但医生们做好准备了吗？最近召开的一次关于电子时代医学交流的会议探讨了计算机在辅助诊断、提供继续医学教育、传播证据和研究结果以及简化实践管理方面的潜力。然而，与会代表们得知，尽管许多医疗实践已经实现了计算机化，但使用这项技术的往往是工作人员而非医生。为了使计算机在医疗领域获得更广泛的接受，需要让医生在培训的早期阶段就适应其使用。
