This document discusses challenges with the current state of health informatics, including a lack of integration of medical databases, limited availability of patient information, and gaps in standards. It proposes that next generation health informatics could address these issues by providing accurate and private patient information across all levels of care in a timely manner through approaches that are interdisciplinary, cost effective, and focus on research, education, collaboration, and personalized healthcare.
