Lack of a standardized information technology management strategy has resulted in state and federal information systems evolving separately, rather than in tandem. Absence of an information management strategy will eventually affect regulatory program management, epidemiologic research, and domestic and international livestock trade. Producers will ultimately pay the price for the lack of regulatory coordination of US animal health and disease information. The longer the development of state and federal information technology management strategies is postponed, the more cost-, labor-, and time-intensive correcting the deficiency will be. Development of a national information resources management environment is the first step in constructing state and federal information technology strategies.
缺乏标准化的信息技术管理策略导致州和联邦信息系统各自独立发展，而非协同发展。信息管理策略的缺失最终将影响监管项目管理、流行病学研究以及国内外牲畜贸易。生产者最终将为美国动物健康和疾病信息缺乏监管协调而付出代价。州和联邦信息技术管理策略的制定推迟得越久，纠正这一缺陷所需的成本、人力和时间就越高。构建国家信息资源管理环境是制定州和联邦信息技术策略的第一步。
