Abstract

Health information systems refer to any system that captures, stores, manages or transmits information related to the health of individuals or the activities of organizations that work within the health sector. The unintended medical errors are a big threat to patient safety. Therefore, there is a challenge of delivering safe healthcare is important. An attempt to meet these demands, healthcare systems have increasingly focusing at deploying information knowledge to scale resources, to decrease queues, to minimize or avoid the errors, and to give modern facilities in remote communities. The computer-aided tools are not vital for interpreting patient specific data in order to determine the most suitable therapy from the diagnosis. In order to make decision making on treatment and diagnosis for individual perspective, all the relevant health information of the patient needs to be available and transparently accessible to them regardless of the location.
