Clinical Information Systems

Abstract

Clinical information systems (CISs) are examined from a hospital point of view and considering two use cases, the HIBA (Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires) and the HEGP (Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou) in Paris. Strategic planning and functions of CISs, their subsystems, organizational aspects, and evaluation methodologies are compared in both institutions that share the same EMRAM 6 EHR maturity level but differ by their internal organization, their relationships to the broader health information systems, and the underlying national healthcare system.
