Abstract :
The field of healthcare information management has a bright future. Most health care organizations are investing heavily in this area and additional staffing will be required. Many obstacles remain, however. This is especially evident in the development of the electronic medical record. Some of these obstacles can be overcome by technology. For example, solutions are needed to facilitate data entry, to store and stage vast amounts of data, to facilitate the review of this data, and to provide online decision support. In order to succeed, we must make efficient use of our engineering and management talent
