As part of the VUMC Informatics Center's planning process, faculty, students and staff share their visions for integrating information technology with health care to improve patient outcomes. This series of videos, spanning the years 1993 to 2005, chronicles these evolving visions and our successes in bringing these visions to life. The videos are specifically intended to show benefits of integrating information resources and to stimulate further creative thinking and input. These scenarios were grounded in existing technologies or process changes that increase patient-provider interaction, but they were forward-looking and have managed to anticipate current healthcare realities.
