title: Medical informatics and institutional strategy.
abstract: Programs in medical informatics can help academic medical centers make effective use of information technology. But to achieve the greatest strategic benefits from these programs, an institution must forge proper linkage between informatics and its overall effort to deploy computing in research, education and patient care. Here we explore this linkage and the ways in which it can be established and managed.
