Introduction
Health information system can be defined as a system that is designed to manage the data
of healthcare (Wager, Lee and Glaser 2017). This dataset includes the patients’ medical health
record (EMR) and the various system that manage, transmit, store and collect the EMR data. It
also includes the data that are handled by the activities of the health organizations like hospital
and the health care providers like nursing homes (Zhang et al., 2017).
