Abstract
Next-generation informationsystems for managed care environments must meet new standardsin the following areas: user interface, external interfaces,data storage and retrieval, and data analysis. Further, the requirementsthat will serve as the blue print for their construction mustbe grounded in new ways of looking at the process of patientcare.
