人们越来越认识到，信息技术不再是一种选择，而是管理临床和健康信息的必要条件。这一迫切需要越来越多地导致有关生物医学信息学（BMI）领域及其与健康信息技术的关系的问题。在20世纪60年代从一个学术基础上出现，强调研究和教育，大约50年后，我们看到大量的应用信息学从业人员以及该学科的基础和应用研究人员。从研究环境中出现的信息技术正在改变医学实践，其融资，以及我们监测医疗保健和公众健康保护的能力。这些领域的学术基础仍然需要培育，但其概念和实际应用不再是深奥的，需要研究并纳入所有21世纪卫生专业人员的知识基础。
There is a growing appreciation that information technology is no longer an option but a necessity in the management of clinical and health information. This imperative has increasingly led to questions regarding the field of biomedical informatics (BMI) and its relationship to health information technology. Emerging in the 1960s from an academic base, with an emphasis on research and education, some 50 years later we see large numbers of applied informatics practitioners as well as both basic and applied researchers in the discipline. The information technology that has emerged from the research environment is now changing the practice of medicine, its financing, and our ability to monitor both health care and the preservation of health in the populace. The scholarly base of the fields still requires nurturing, but its concepts and practical applications are no longer esoteric and require study and incorporation into the knowledge base of all 21stcentury health professionals.
