Abstract

Integrated information systems are a fundamental component of companies' activity. The existence of such a system allows a much more correct management of the company's resources, streamlining operations and thus bringing a substantial competitive advantage to those who use it. Health is a vast and complex field in which computerization is useful and necessary in both the public and private areas. In the field of health, hospitals that use such integrated information systems can cover the management of the entire activity, from supply, to the management of patients, staff, tests and procedures or the reporting of diagnoses to insurance companies. The desired end result of the introduction of electronic services in health consists in increasing the quality of services and decreasing the costs of these services, for all those involved: patients, healthcare professionals, medical institutions or insurance companies. This paper aims to analyze the importance of implementing an integrated information system in hospitals from theoretical point of view. It presents the particularities of integrated computer systems for hospitals and it details the components of a hospital integrated system as a useful tool for improving the patient care process and reducing costs in these uncertain times.
