The Power and Potential of Automating Care

The incorporation of computers into clinical settings has led to the rise in the use of the term "automation" as a buzzword. However, the status of this term as a buzzword vastly overestimates the role automation plays versus what it could play in the clinical context. Despite vast opportunities offered by the expansion of automation into care systems, major gaps remain in the infrastructure required to support its widespread introduction. Fortunately, tools like RexDB by Prometheus Research can facilitate such an infrastructure.

计算机在临床场景中的普及应用，使得“自动化”一词成为行业热词。然而，这一术语作为热词的定位，极大地高估了自动化在临床语境中实际发挥的作用，也夸大了其本可具备的应用潜力。尽管自动化向医疗照护系统的拓展带来了诸多发展机遇，但支撑其大规模落地所需的基础设施仍存在显著短板。所幸，普罗米修斯研究（Prometheus Research）推出的RexDB等工具，可为这类基础设施的建设提供助力。
