It uses a literature review, of scientific articles related to these goals. Most of these articles states that nursing information systems (NIS) are an important tool of work and quality assessment. There is a growing perspective of HIS oriented to results and organizational intelligence. Here lies an important factor of performance, which is very relevant in health.
