HEALTHCARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS: ARCHITECTURE AND GOVERNANCE
Keywords:
HCIS, EMR, HIS, CIOs, Architecture, governance, cyber, security.Abstract
Healthcare Information Systems (HCIS) are critical tools in modern medicine for improving
patient services and optimizing costs. This study is dedicated to examining the structure, functional
capabilities, and management methods of HCIS, analyzing their effective implementation in
healthcare organizations. The research includes a literature review and practical case studies on
the application of HCIS in countries such as Italy and Croatia. The findings indicate that Hospital
Information Systems (HIS) play a central role in supporting administration, patient admission
processes, and clinical activities. These systems are interconnected through HL7 standards and
centralized databases, facilitating data exchange. The study highlights the importance of strategic
planning in internal management and inter-organizational collaboration in external management.
In the future, HCIS can become more effective by advancing evidence-based medicine, expanding
analytical tools, and engaging social networks. This work proposes directions for the application
of HCIS in developing countries, emphasizing the need to ensure security, adaptability, and
alignment with user needs.
