Park: I think it's a tremendous time for clinical informaticists because they're now key people to make things happen. And I know that virtually all clinical informaticists know this already, but I think that it's not so important to know everything, but rather to be the catalyst to get clinicians, IT people, administrators, patients, everyone, talking to each other, to maximize health in a very proactive, information-driven way. So if we view the role of the clinical informaticist as the person who has to personally do all the work, of course, it becomes impossible; but instead, we should view them as leaders and coordinators, performing [strategic] jujitsu to help achieve all the right things; then it becomes a very exciting role.
