Because the biggest bottleneck in the development of the health care information network is that the amount of data which must be keyed in is too vast, in the future, in addition to the conventional hardcopy declaration forms which hospitals and clinics submit, they will be encouraged to submit softcopy records, as either "stored media declarations," in such forms as diskette or tape, or "on-line declarations."
由於建立醫療資訊網的最大瓶頸在於需登錄的資料量太大，因此未來醫院診所的申報，除了傳統的書面申報外，更鼓勵「媒體申報」（包括電腦磁片、磁帶等）和「連線申報」兩種電腦申報方式，並且用實際的獎懲措施來帶動。
