Globalisation and the introduction of new information technologies in the various areas of human activity are having repercussions at economic, social and organisational level. Healthcare organisations have to keep up with and adapt to society's new standards in order to meet the current challenges. Although we are in a time of great progress and high technology, we still have a long way to go. The main objective of health information systems (HIS) is to promote continuity of care. HIS make information available quickly, easily and securely, reduce the time spent on records and promote continuity of care. The implementation of HIS in healthcare institutions should be carried out progressively and with the involvement of nursing professionals. Currently, health information systems are an indispensable source of support for decision-making and clinical practice, helping to increase knowledge, safety and efficiency in the healthcare process (Pinto, 2009; Mota, 2010; Guedes, 2011). This book is intended to encourage all nurses to acquire knowledge of HIS/HIS.
