Abstract
The vitality of health care drives demand for capable information systems and encourages experimentation in the field, but its highly individualized nature requires complex systems that increase the risk of innovation. For 20 years, one or another of the best minds in healthcare informatics has predicted that either a “complete” or “paperless” electronic patient record was only about 5 years off. Presently, the year 2000 is the target of choice. Healthcare informaticians, like astronomers who build stronger telescopes to see more stars, know that the price of progress is repeated realization that completing one task merely reveals the next.
