The System coordination for the introduction of computer science and of computer equipment in medical practice was first established in Russia in the mid-70s of the last century. A similar system of interaction of the newly created today after two decades of interruption. At the present stage of particular importance for the country's Public Health are the development and implementation of automated information systems of health care organizations. They are now actually determine the level of informatics of the medical component of proper health care. Fortunately, the country is developing such automated information systems world-class. Unfortunately, the full territorial systems we have not. Creating a full-fledged MIS federal health is impossible without creating a single medical information space, which brings together all the medical and social information, regardless of its further use by different agencies and services for different purposes. This will allow to obtain any required cuts health statistics based on processing of information and eliminate unnecessary duplication of data in medical information systems. The priorities of the health informatics of Russia at the present stage, the following: 1. Commissioning of those fragments of information-analytical system, which are really ready for it. 2. Solving the problem of integrated electronic health record. 3. The development of dictionaries-nomenclatures at the international level and others. Conditions for the success of the health informatics at the present stage are the evolutionary development, a sober assessment of the results and prospects.
