The Many

At first sight, the many applications of computers in medicine—from payroll and registration systems to computerized tomography, intensive care and diagnostics—do make a rather chaotic impression. The purpose of this article is to propose a scheme or working model for putting medical information systems in order. The model comprises six »levels of complexity«, running parallel to dependence on human interaction. Several examples are treated to illustrate the scheme. The reason why certain computer applications are more frequently used than others is analyzed. It has to be strongly considered that the differences in complexity and dependence on human involvement are not accidental but fundamental. This has consequences for research and education which are also discussed.

Practice Of Medicine

With the shift in pediatrics toward emphasis on preventive care and anticipatory guidance, especially in this era of care- and cost-management, quality care is becoming increasingly synonymous with good information processing. To achieve our maximum effectiveness as clinicians as well as businesspersons, because pediatrics is a business, we must learn to use the tool that the rest of the business world has long ago discovered and implemented: computerization. Most important, we must apply this technology not only to the business of medicine, but to the practice of medicine itself, for that is where our future and the future of our children lie. From the perspective of someone who has been there, I will discuss what computerized information access and information processing has allowed us to accomplish in practice, and I will give a glimpse of what medicine will be like when we all can manipulate medical information so rapidly that it enables us to practice true preventive care aggressively, to give anticipatory guidance and parent education in a timely manner, and to assess and monitor the progress of our children effectively.
