A Theorem for Medical Informatics

An analytical structure which defines the information domains for any medical computer project is proposed, and its use is discussed. The field of medical informatics lacks a comprehensive way to describe the limits and content of the information domain within which planned information management projects are expected to perform — and this domain boundary is essential information for the designers, analysts, and programmers who are expected to produce working systems. This paper describes a theoretical structure in which such a descriptive technique is being developed.
