There are various clinical information systems and these are some:
-Clinical Decision Support: clinical decision support will provide knowledge and information for clinicians, patients, nurses and for the whole staff of the healthcare facility. Clinical Decision Support will provide tools for providers so they can use, apply, and display for easier, accurate, time and correct decision making, avoidance of errors, cost benefit for both patients and clinicians and increases the care for patients during and after the clinical workflow. Tools examples are computerized alerts, reminders, clinical guidelines, documentation templets, and reference information.
-Electronic Medical Records (EMR): here providers will have both standard medical data and

Physicians can have patient information for the purpose of training and research. Legal access to the databases that have patient information and their diseases can provide statistics that researchers can use for the best of the patients.
The regulatory requirements for implementing a clinical information system for healthcare facilities that have big data are:
-Easy Access to Patient Data: because of the big data of the healthcare facility, healthcare facility needs the ease access to the patient data so the clinical information system must provide that plus all the medical information that the providers need in order to have a convenient outcome for both patient and healthcare providers. Also the availability of internet-based access will be beneficial to the healthcare system.
- Structured Information: the clinical information system must be organized in order to have the easy quick access to the information that healthcare staff need. Mistakes will be less if the system is organized.
- Improved Drug Prescription and Patient Safety: the clinical information system helps in providing accurate drug dosing plus aware from drug-drug interactions or drug-food interactions and so on. This improves the healthcare industry
In conclusion, clinical decision support systems provide a mechanism for improving the quality of care services when integrated with evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines. These systems would particularly improve health care quality when combined with evidence-based medicine. This process may also include the use of databases and condition-specific clinical guidelines to improve their effectiveness and efficiency.

The implementation of the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) was to allow physicians the ability diagnoses patients with the use of evidence based decisions. Physicians can explore relevant medical information through the CDSS from reliable medical experts, clinical guideline extractions and alerts of new and different phases of patient management without the interruption of the medical organization’s workflow (Chiarugi, Colantonio, Emmanouili...
Learning Experience Journal Entry – Director of Health Information Management and the Supervisor of Medical Records Coder
Health information management involves the practice of maintaining and taking care of health records in hospitals, health insurance companies and other health institutions, by the use of electronic means (McWay 176). Storage of medical information is carried out by health information management and HIT professionals using information systems that suit the needs of these institutions. This paper answers four major questions concerning health information systems.
Our clinical knowledge is expanding. The researcher has first proposed the concept of electronic health record (EHR) to gather and analyze every clinical outcome. By late 1990s computer-based patient record (CPR) replaced with the term EHR (Wager et al., 2009). The process of implementing EHR occurs over a number of years. An electronic record of health-related information on individual conforms interoperability standards can create, manage and consult with the authorized health professionals (Wager et al., 2009). This information technology system electronically gather and store patient data, and supply that information as needed to the healthcare professionals, as well as a caregiver can also access, edit or input new information; this system function as a decision support tools to the health professionals. Every healthcare organization is increasingly aware of the importance of adopting EHR to improve the patient satisfaction, safety, and lowering the medical costs.
Health Information Systems Introduction Easy and timely availability of sound, accurate, and reliable information is the foundation of all decision-making processes within the healthcare system. Health information systems are computer integrated healthcare systems that provides the underpinnings for decision-making in healthcare by facilitating data generation, analysis, compilation, storage, synthesis, and dissemination. Therefore, strong health information systems are fundamental to the attainment and achievement of better healthcare outcomes. Health information systems are the centerpieces of any effective health system since it will ensure that the right information gets to the right person at the right time. As more and more organizations
Yignesh Ramachandran states in an article that health informatics “manages all aspects of the effective and efficient planning, collection, organization, implementation, analysis and use of data to create information within the healthcare system.” It gives easier access of client information to the interprofessional team. This system can improve the quality of health care, lowers paperwork and increase productivity. It also decreases the interpersonal time with clients.
Where I work we use a computer called EPIC. Many doctors’ offices and hospitals use this same system. The benefit to this is that doctors have instant access to all medical treatment being given, and medical illnesses the patient has. The downside is that, not all doctors’ offices and hospitals use the same system. This is a problem when trying to treat someone that you do not have access to all their medical information.
Introduction & Summary Clinical Decision Support systems are systems that aid in the provision of person-specific information and knowledge to patients, medical practitioners, clinicians and other persons within a health care setting. This person-specific information is presented and filtered according to the requirements in order to assist in enhancing the health care services and the general health of the patient. CDS system is comprised of a variety of tools including computerized reminders and alerts to healthcare practitioners and patients; focused summaries and reports of patient data; diagnostic support; order sets that are condition-specific; reference information with contextual relevance and documentation templates (Health IT 2013).
The function of a clinical information system is to store data that can be shared and analyzed in order to understand a patient’s current condition and also to aid in making more accurate healthcare treatment
Big Data in Healthcare and How You as Healthcare Provider Could Get Benefit of Big Data Amal Mohammed Alghamdi 434008372 Princess Nora University Collage of Medicine Big Data in Healthcare and How You as Healthcare Provider Could Get Benefit of Big Data "Big data is a term for data sets that traditional data processing application softwares are not able to deal with them and they are so large and complex so they are facing a lot of challenges such as, storage, analysis, search, capture, data curation, transfer, sharing, visualization, updating and information privacy and querying". Nowadays the big data is producing a lot of benefits in different fields including healthcare. The big data in healthcare was used to predict epidemics, cure
Although the technology is kept on advancing from day to day, there are some clinics that are still using old method in handling their records. Piles of files in registry counter sometimes make the place looks messy and it takes a large space to store all the records of their patients. Sometimes, they cannot find a record due to misplace and the records might be lost. Each time they want to retrieve the records, they have to find based on the series number which sometimes the file is placed not according to the series number. This process will take more time than it should be. There are some clinics that are already implementing an electronic medical record and it gives positive impacts to their record management. Other than reduce time in retrieval the records of patients, the system also help to manage all the records efficiently. Besides that, by using this kind of system, the use of large space can be reduced. Same goes to the cost, the organization (clinic) can save more in terms of stationary and they do not have to hire many workers to manage their records.
It is pertinent to note that ICT gives room for technological convergence in that various communication channels or platforms are integrated in it. This has opened the way for health enlightenment in various forms such as podcasts, short videos, blogs and so on. The limitless coverage of the internet allows these enlightenment efforts to be accessed all over the world enhancing global health. The information system of any health center will not function effectively without Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In other words, ICT is the backbone of the current information system. Information can be transmitted within a couple of no time. The array of purveyor of information under ICT is extremely vast and this technology helps doctors, hospitals, the general public and all other medical care providers. It is pertinent to note that Pharmaceutical industry is the industry that enjoys the biggest benefits of ICT. All the medical data available helps in assessing the medical requirements, makes them aware of similar research being carried out in different parts of the world and in letting the world know about their developments Consequently, the advent of ICT has made
