Health care information systems have the potential to enable better care of patients in much the same manner as the widespread use of the automobile and telephone did in the early 20th century. The car and phone were rapidly accepted and embraced throughout the world when these breakthroughs occurred. However, the automation of health care with use of computerized information systems has not been as widely accepted and implemented as computer technology use in all other sectors of the global economy. In this article, the authors examine the need, risks, and rewards of clinical informatics in health care as well as its specific relationship to critical care medicine.

Key Words: electronic medical record • electronic health record • clinical information systems • clinical decision support • computerized physician order entry • health care informatics • critical care information systems • leapfrog • Institute of Medicine • medical errors • clinical decision support • return on investment
