Abstract:
As health care delivery systems become more integrated with an emphasis on community wellness and prevention, well-developed information infrastructures will be needed to support their activities. The article introduces several previously published independent models for the evolution of integrated delivery systems, computer-based patient records (CPRs), and health information networks as well as a summary model that illustrates the relationship among these entities and their somewhat parallel development.
