Abstract
This paper examines the characteristics and challenges presented by medical databases and medical information systems. It begins with a survey of medical databases/information systems. This is followed by a list of challenges for database management systems generated by the needs of these systems. It concludes with a look at some systems which address these challenges. In the context of this background information, the database community is asked to consider whether the results of database research are reaching those who are making day-to-day decisions regarding design and implementation of medical information systems.Keywords
