随着现代科学技术的高速发展，传统中医药已难以适应现代科学技术的发展趋势，为了更好地继承和发扬国粹，现代中医药必须进行信息化改革和创新。2012年7月国家中医药管理局发布的《中医药信息化建设“十二五”规划》为中医药工作者和相关机构指明了新的方向，也提出了新的机遇和挑战。中医药应注重与先进的信息技术、数学、物理等相关学科交叉，通过中医诊疗客观化、中医教育信息化以及数字出版等方式在具体应用方面开拓创新。

With the boom of modern science and technology,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has hardly converged on the surge.As a result,modern Chinese medicine has to press ahead with the reform and innovation of informatization for better inheritence and promotion of the essential of Chinese culture.In July,2012,the State Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration published the“Twelfth Five Year Plan”for Traditional Chinese Medicine Informatization Construction,pointing out a new direction for the practitioners and institutions of Chinese medicine and bringing them both opportunities and challenges.Modern Chinese medicine should be more concerned with the integration of advanced information technology,mathematics,physics and other related disciplines for its pioneering innovation in the specific applications,such as the TCM objective treatments,informatization construction and education in TCM,and Chinese medicine database and digital publishing modes.
