Data management information systems designed to streamline work-flow, increase productivity, and improve patient throughput. These systems typically consist of a combination of hardware and software. The hardware typically includes dedicated network servers and computers; the software consists of a dedicated software package that is able to create, update, and review care plans, which improves the capture of clinical data and makes information much more accessible. Case management systems also assist in appropriate reporting of clinical/patient information; they may function as stand-alone systems or may be integrated in a hospital-wide data management information system network.
