System considerations in regional information exchange.

Expert InsightsPublished 1962

A discussion of the reasons for the widespread interest in improved systems for the regional exchange of health, medical, and welfare information. First, substantial advances in both research and patient care might be achieved if the volumes of valuable data buried in files of health, medical, and welfare agencies were more accessible. Second, data electronic devices offer real promise of making better access to such data technologically feasible. Consideration is also given to the design of a regional information system characterized by many geographically remote input and output stations linked to a central processing and storage facility.
