One of the most promising fruits from the workshop discussion was the identification of the potential for integrated, computer-assisted medical information systems to assist physicians in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases; to assist managed care organizations in tracking antibiotic use, costs, and outcomes; and to assist public health agencies in monitoring and even preventing emerging infections and antibiotic resistance.
