What is another name for a Clinical Information System (CIS)?

Case management system
Electronic patient record

Scheduling system

The correct answer is: Case management system

A Clinical Information System (CIS) is also known as a Case Management System. This system is specifically designed to manage and support various aspects of patient care and documentation within a healthcare setting. While Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems focus on storing patient data, CIS goes beyond by incorporating functions related to the management of individual cases and supporting clinical decision-making processes. Financial Information Systems are geared towards financial data and management within healthcare organizations, while Scheduling Systems focus on appointment scheduling and resource allocation.
