Information industry leaders share visions of future. Interview by Carolyn Dunbar and Michael L. Laughlin

Computers in Healthcare editors Carolyn Dunbar and Michael L. Laughlin spoke to nearly a hundred exhibitors during the 1992 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society last February in Tampa, Fla. The themes of these conversations invariably turned to patient-focused systems, standards, integration and, of course, controlling healthcare costs. Many HIMSS participants offered valuable insights, and unfortunately space does not permit us to run every interview. In the following interviews, however, three industry leaders share visions of where their companies--and the industry--are headed.
