HIS is a practical entity within the structure of the comprehensive health system to improve the health of our patients. With any system comes both advantages and disadvantages. The effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which definitive users can achieve a specific set of tasks in a specific environment is what is called usability (Health, 2016). Bottom line, a HIS with great usability is easy to use and effective. Some advantages of this type of system is it's forgiving of mistakes and it allows for performing necessary tasks quickly, efficiently and with a minimum of mental effort. Disadvantages may include not having the same system from a health care facility to a health care facility. It can be difficult to communicate from one system to another. Interoperability is the ability for different HIS, application and devices, to access, exchange, intergrade and conjointly use data in a harmonized manner, within and across organizational, regional and national boundaries, (CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2017) One advantage is due to the full visibility and access to patient data between healthcare facilities. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
