It is designed to provide a real-time, patient-centric information resource to the medical professionals. The system can assist with the management of patient data, treatment plans, and reporting needs. It can also help to streamline workflows, improve patient care, and enhance healthcare organization's operational efficiency. The CIS can be used in various healthcare settings including hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. It can also be used in different departments such as pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology. Example: Examples of CIS applications include electronic medical records (EMR), computerized physician order entry (CPOE), and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS). EMR systems allow healthcare providers to document patient information electronically, replacing paper records. CPOE systems allow physicians to electronically write the full range of orders, eliminating the need for handwritten or verbal orders. PACS provide economical storage and convenient access to images from multiple modalities.
