INFORMATICS
 INTRODUCTION
1. HISs prioritize above all else. In order to assist health care
professional in giving patients safe and effective medical care. HISs
must operate accurately, steadily and smoothly. Additionally,
patient data must be stored properly and securely, “safety” is
broken down a into a variety of categories in the HISs context, some
of which are regulated by law. One of these categories is “patient
safety” which related to the idea that HISs will help patient medical
mishapes like patient mistake (such as doing surgery in wrong
place) and issue with drug delivery. In reality, hospitals with
actively customize HISs have built features that promote patient
safety by collaborating with contracted suppliers and utilizing
incident report analysis from the institution themselves.
