CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The need to record information regarding a patient is considered an old and important problem in medicine. Progress in this direction depends on the possibility of having adequate technical support. This concept has been changing over time, as they have increased the data collected and have modified the available technology.

It seems understandable that with the development of information technology that has occurred in recent years, there has been much progress in the process of collection storage and retrieval of patient data. However, the scope of information technology to this problem is scarce and limited (Obama 2011). Despite the different development and technological advances that have occurred in the field of medical sciences, is still used for the collection of information the old system of paper patient records (files), where, paradoxically, the computer has reached very advanced stages of development in almost all spheres of life including its wide use in medicine itself. Because of the need to address this and similar problems and to interweave Medicine and Informatics, Medical Informatics arises (IM) as a science, defined as: The set of theoretical and practical aspects of information processing on the basis of knowledge and experience derived from processes in medicine and healthcare.
