Health Care Information Systems Diagram
A systems diagram is a visual representation of the functioning of a system in terms of its various components and how they interact. In healthcare settings, such systems involve components that collect, store, and transmit patient information to facilitate hospital operations. An example of such a system in practice is in the Baylor Health Care, a company that provides healthcare services. The diagram below represents such a system. The diagram below is a summary of the system’s basic components.

Summary of Components
The diagram comprises a general healthcare information system, which is divided into three main categories: the information operation, information center, and information utility. These are responsible for collecting and storing patient information. The information collected is used in the admission and discharge, medical records processing, classification of laboratory information, administration of drugs in the pharmacy, and billing purposes. All these systems are interconnected to ensure that no errors occur either in the diagnosis or drug administration.
