Clinical Information System

A clinical information system (CIS) is a computer-based system that is designed to manage clinical data and support clinical decision-making in healthcare settings. It provides a centralized repository of patient health information, including medical history, test results, diagnoses, and treatment plans.

CISs can include a range of different components, such as electronic health records (EHRs), computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems, clinical decision support (CDS) tools, and telehealth technologies. These systems can help healthcare providers to make more informed decisions, streamline communication between care team members, and improve patient outcomes.
