Which of the following is an example of an information system found in a healthcare setting?

Clinical information system (CIS)
Database management system
Office filing system
Security monitoring system

The correct answer is: Clinical information system (CIS)

A Clinical Information System (CIS) is an example of an information system found in a healthcare setting. A CIS is specifically designed to support healthcare delivery by providing access to patient-specific information, such as electronic health records, medication administration records, and clinical decision support systems. This type of system helps healthcare providers make informed clinical decisions, improves patient care quality, and enhances overall healthcare outcomes. On the other hand, while a Database Management System is essential for organizing and managing data, it is not specific to healthcare and may be used across various industries. Office filing systems are typically more manual and administrative in nature, focusing on document organization and storage rather than comprehensive healthcare data management. Security monitoring systems are crucial for protecting sensitive information but do not directly manage and provide clinical information like a CIS does in a healthcare setting.
