โœฆ Synopsis

It is premature to look for a state-wide medical information system. Inherent in such a project are the following major social questions: absence of a simple explanation of the purpose of such a system; protection of personal privacy; justification for the depersonalization of automated systems; and the necessarily great financial costs. Technical obstacles include: absence of good patient identification; poor medical terminology; unknown problems of very big, complex files; and computer hardware unreliability. These difficulties suggest that single function, multi-computer networking may be a more appropriate conceptual model than the traditional large computer scheme.

The nature of the medical information system of 1975 is highly speculative, but due attention must be given to many factors if such systems are to make a positive, rather than a negative, contribution to the delivery of health care. A number of these factors are discussed from the point of view that
