流行病学提供了有关人类健康的极其有效的信息和证据。必须积累、加强重大疾病的流行病学发现，并将其进一步扩展到相关领域，作为基于临床实践的循证医学以及包括公共卫生相关问题的循证医疗保健的基础。流行病学不仅应该得到流行病学家的认可，还应该得到各种各样的人的认可，包括其他医疗保健和医学领域的专家、法律和媒体人士、政策制定者和公众。需要一个可以创建信息的系统，以促进对与临床医学和公共卫生相关的问题做出适当的决策。流行病学的原理和方法被用作发展健康信息学领域的基础。健康信息学的目标是建立一个促进健康和医疗信息流动和流通的系统。健康信息学在信息的创建、交流和使用方面具有潜在的应用，并且该学科正在扩展为寻找解决方案的实用应用科学。本报告代表了通过与其他学科的个人和公众合作，扩大健康信息学范围并扩展流行病学应用的努力。
Epidemiology provides extremely valid information and evidence regarding human health. Epidemiologic findings with regard to major illnesses must be amassed, enhanced, and expanded further into related areas as a foundation for evidence-based medicine that is based on clinical practice, as well as for evidence-based healthcare that includes public health-related issues. Epidemiology should be recognized not only by epidemiologists but also by a variety of people, including specialists in other areas for healthcare and medicine, people in law and media, policy makers, and the general public. A system is needed that can create information for facilitating appropriate decision-making with issues related to clinical medicine and public health. The principles and methodology of epidemiology are used as a base for developing a field of health informatics. The objective of health informatics is to establish a system for facilitating the flow and circulation of health and medical information. Health informatics has potential applications for the creation, communication, and use of information, and the discipline is being expanded as a practical applied science in search of solutions. This report represents an effort to expand the scope of health informatics and extend the applications of epidemiology by working with individuals in other disciplines and the public.
