Abstract
As the world comes to embrace technology, it becomes apparent that there is a progressive need to use information systems in all fields, especially in the medical one. While doctors and human resources will always be needed, technology can bring an enormous advantage. When using information systems an improvement can be seen while managing a hospital, diagnosing, and treating patients and even in reducing infection rates among hospital patients. There is a whole world for this new technology. Only, medical staff are not the keenest on this system, believing they would be replaced. Having this in mind it is important to have a balance between men and machine. This article aims to present a preliminary literature review that allows us to understand what medical and healthcare information systems are and how they are used.
