  ABSTRACT: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has driven the digital transformation of the healthcare industry, where information systems are leveraged by providers for enhanced performance and improved patient outcomes. Given these systems’ outsized role in healthcare management, it is essential to explore their impacts on healthcare by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of health information systems (HIS). This study investigates the strengths and shortcomings of HIS. It addresses the gap in scholarly literature, which often focuses on isolated effects rather than providing a general understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of HIS. This research employed the narrative review methodology, which aggregates and synthesizes literature on the subject. The main body of the text discusses the benefits of HIS, such as improving the systematic management of health data, reducing medical errors, and promoting operational efficiency and decision-making. The vulnerabilities of information systems discussed here are implementation costs and privacy concerns. The conclusion summarizes the paper’s content and connects it to its impact on patient outcomes.
