We begin with the inescapable observation that healthcare informatics is merely one of the many endeavors that is following a turbulent but nearly inescapable path into a digital future. Our objective in this paper is to describe as best we can the overall geography of the general path we appear to be on, to anticipate some of our future checkpoints along the way, to identify some of the roughest transitional passages, and to offer this as one guide among many to those who have volunteered to do the steering into this exciting, electronic unknown.
