Data management information systems designed to provide education on patient health. These systems typically consist of a combination of hardware and software. The hardware typically includes dedicated network servers and workstations, computers, printers, and touch screens; the software consists of a dedicated software package that is capable of advancing health knowledge, outlining discharge instructions, and providing patient surveys. Patient education data management systems enhance self-care during the recovery period without consuming staff resources; they are also intended to provide information on the patient health status and development of good health habits. They may function as stand-alone systems or may be integrated in a hospital-wide data management information system network.
