Telemedicine, based on integrated applications of telecommunications and information technologies, enables distant delivery of health care. Medical informatics uses IT applications that are designed to improve clinical efficiency, accuracy, and reliability.
b) Administrative information systems enable the organization to carry out financial,administrative,human resources, payroll, parking, accounting, public safety, admissions, financial aid and registration like functions in hospital.
c) Decision support systems provide analytical tools for managerial decision making. the doctors and physicians can use this to make decisions like diagnose, make medication , treatment to patient etc like decisions.
d) The Internet and e-health enable patients and practitioners to access information, facilitate interaction between consumers or between patients and providers, add certain conveniences for both physicians and patients, and enable the possibility of virtual visits .
these are very important because they help management of hospital to make effective decision by using data and provide high quality care to patient at low cost. the chances of medical errors are reduced because of use of these information systems.
