Abstract

Public health systems have adopted computer health and information technology as a dynamic transformational tool both to improve real-time surveillance systems and to communicate and exchange information between different organizations. Health information systems (HIS) incorporate data collection, processing, report creation, and the use of information necessary to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health services through better management of these services at every level. The sustainable development of these systems depends on their interoperability, the combination of the “three pillars of sustainability” (economic, social, environmental). At the global health level, there are variations between countries in terms of the application and implementation of sustainable systems. However, taking advantage of the available knowledge and technology, and with proper management of the economy, the viability of health information systems can be sustainable.
