Each science is identified with the questions it raises with respect to its object of study. This paper discussed the formulation of the basic questions of medical informatics. From a historical point of view, it first dealt with the problems of medical computing. Thereby, three classical questions arose: How can existing computers and information technologies assist in medical activities? Which components of the mathematical apparatus of informatics can be used for solving medical problems, and how and what activities of a physician are subject to algoritmization? The present time raises a new circle of questions centered around the basic one: How is the information system of the human organism structured and how does it function? This question and others form the basis of a new trend in medical informatics.
每一门科学都与其针对研究对象所提出的问题紧密相连。本文探讨了医学信息学基本问题的形成。从历史角度来看，它首先处理了医学计算方面的问题。由此产生了三个经典问题：现有计算机和信息技术如何辅助医疗活动？信息学数学工具的哪些组成部分可用于解决医学问题，以及医生的哪些活动以及如何受到算法化的影响？当前时代围绕着一个基本问题引发了一系列新的问题：人体生物信息系统是如何构建的以及它是如何运作的？这个问题以及其他问题构成了医学信息学新趋势的基础。
