Abstract
Since the early days of medical computing, medical computer researchers have envisioned how computers could benefit medical research and practice and have deplored the inability of medicine to take full advantage of the computer's power. They, and others, have analyzed the causes for the medical computing “lag.” These analyses identify a wide range of difficulties that the introduction of computers into medicine faced, and continues to face.Keywords
