Key to the development of a biomedical informatics architecture is the ethics and privacy issues inherent in any healthcare endeavor. Even though the IT industry sees this as an opportunity not a contraindication, the handling of genotypic and phenotypic data requires a high level of security to protect its highly sensitive and personal nature. Conformity to the statutory requirements for the protection of privacy will require the biomedical informatics field to be developed with the issues of privacy and security in mind. 

The broad scope of medical informatics reflects the vision of healthcare decision makers who see the cutting edge currently reserved for the research elite eventually being available in routine clinical practice. It is not far-fetched that someday the computer will tell us whether a certain protein involved in a pathway is related to a CNS disorder, and give also its 3D structure, elucidate the level of expression in all brain cell types, and list all the known chemical compounds that bind to the protein, including the toxicological profiles of these compounds. This is the direction in which biomedical informatics is heading, and this is the ultimate practical application of personalized healthcare. 

From the statements above it is clear that most thinkers in the field would consider that the developments to be described later fail to capture and utilize the full answer as to what knowledge is. The sense in that field is, however, that steps are being made in the right direction. There is much to be built that is pressingly needed without needing to understand the true nature of knowledge, because at least we know it when we see it. And the idea anyway is that currently emerging systems architectures as health informatics solutions and biomedical informatics solutions will provide the essential bedrock for what comes next. 

Autonomic computing technologies encapsulate the complexity of the underlying information technology components (hardware components and software components) and also enable automatic operation and management of the IT system with dynamic adaptation to changes without (or with minimal) human intervention so that the IT system as a whole can be used as a black box. The conceptual biomedical informatics architecture is depicted in the Figure 8.6. 

The theme for transparent access to multidimensional heterogeneous data is the foundation for other themes for combinatorial analysis and online collaboration. In other words, data integration for transparent access to multidimensional heterogeneous data is the foundation for biomedical informatics to enable undirected data mining for knowledge discovery. With undirected data mining, combinatorial analysis can be used for developing a hypothesis and statistical analysis for validation of the hypothesis.
