IS: the neural nexus. Why you should consider information systems as the central nervous system of an integrated healthcare network.
Until now, utilization of information systems in America's healthcare industry has been anything but scientific. And individual healthcare providers have managed to deliver the world's best healthcare services despite lousy information systems, lack of clinical outcomes data, lack of adequate service costing data and lack of customer satisfaction data. The key to the scientific improvement of the health status of a community health network is the acquisition and application of knowledge, which we believe to be wholly dependent upon scientifically designed clinical information systems. We've got some work to do.
