Computer technology has impacted the practice of medicine in
dramatic ways. Imaging techniques provide noninvasive tools which
alter the diag nostic process. Sophisticated monitoring equipment
presents new levels of detail for both patient management and
research. In most of these high technology applications, the
computer is embedded in the device; its presence is transparent to
the user. There is also a growing number of applications in which
the health care provider directly interacts with a computer. In
many cases, these appli cations are limited to administrative
functions, e.g., office practice man agement, location of hospital
patients, appointments, and scheduling. Nevertheless, there also
are instances of patient care functions such as results reporting,
decision support, surveillance, and reminders. This series,
Computers and Medicine, will focus upon the direct use of
information systems as it relates to the medical community. After
twenty-five years of experimentation and experience, there are many
tested applications which can be implemented economically using the
current generation of computers. Moreover, the falling cost of
computers suggests that there will be even more extensive use in
the near future. Yet there is a gap between current practice and
the state-of-the-art."
