“…In a critical operating environment, such as a clinical care organization, it is essential to maintain principles such as data coherence and efficiency in information management. For this reason, interoperability between systems is probably the most critical factor in the implementation and management of an information system [25], both regarding communication [26] and the semantic interpretation of information [27]. We can see in the map how, in addition to covering traditional interoperability aspects, semantic standardization and nomenclature aspects are increasingly covered.…”

Objectives: This paper presents a systematic mapping of studies related to information systems and technology in the field of healthcare, enabling a visual mapping of the different lines of knowledge that can provide an overview of the scientific literature in this field. This map can help to clarify critical aspects of healthcare informatics, such as the main types of information systems, the ways in which they integrate with each other, and the technological trends in this field. Methods: Systematic mapping refers to a process of classifying information in a given area of knowledge. It provides an overview of the state of the art in a particular discipline or area of knowledge, establishing a map that describes how knowledge is structured in that particular area. In this study, we proposed and carried out a specific implementation of the methodology for mapping. In total, 1,619 studies that combine knowledge related to information systems, computer science, and healthcare were selected and compiled from prestigious publications. Results: The results established a distribution of the available literature and identified papers related to certain research questions, thereby providing a map of knowledge that structures the different trends and main areas of research, making it possible to address the research questions and serving as a guide to deepen specific aspects of the field of study. Conclusions: We project and propose future research for the trends that stand out because of their interest and the possibility of exploring these topics in greater depth.

“…These metrics also can be used to compare (benchmarking) the organization's performance to other similar healthcare facilities and identify areas for improvement [24]. Furthermore, they can help to support the effectiveness and efficiency of clinical care as well as to enhance continuous performance measurement [25]. Finally, these metrics can enable informed decision-making based on actual healthcare delivery models, for example, healthcare practitioners and leaders can use accurate, valid, reliable, timely, relevant, legible, and complete data to proactively adjust the clinical course of treatment for individual patients [26,27].…”

Quality improvement is a continuous journey to standardize healthcare processes and structure to reduce variation, achieve predictable results, and improve outcomes for patients, healthcare systems, and organizations. Improving quality is about making health care safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. It’s about giving the people closest to problems affecting care quality the time, permission, skills, and resources they need to solve them. Patient safety it’s a fundamental principle of excellent patient care. On the other hand, patient safety it’s a fundamental principle of excellent patient care. Patient safety also is one of the key components of the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) six domains of healthcare quality (Safe, Timely, Effective, Efficient, Equitable, and Patient-centered) that is used as a metric to evaluate how safe is the practice. This work aims to highlight the main quality improvement initiatives, and tools used to standardize healthcare processes and improve patient safety.
