Title: Challenges in Current Health
Information Systems
Abstract:
In the information age
there are many electronic process and information systems in the
healthcare
arena which allow for widespread access, awareness and use of Health
Information Systems. However, even with the availability of these
systems and
technology, it is not always easy to gain access to information at the
one
point of service or care due to the disparate systems which need to be
consulted
individually to obtain the complete picture of a patient’s medical
history.
This paper provides an overview of the current status and challenges
facing
hospitals and explores a pathway towards further research by
identifying
challenges that need to be overcome as a first step in achieving an
accessible
system.
