Hospital information systems (HIS) can be used to assist in the prevention of COVID-19 by tracking and managing patient information, monitoring outbreaks, and supporting communication between healthcare providers. For example, HIS can be used to track COVID-19 cases and contact tracing, facilitate virtual consultations and telemedicine, and assist in managing the distribution of resources such as personal protective equipment. Additionally, data from HIS can be used for public health surveillance and research to help understand and control the spread of the virus.
