Data base management systems extend computer use.
A data base management system (DBMS) is a tool that can help the healthcare industry manage more information efficiently. This tool has the capability to store and retrieve data without the need for several programs or files. The DBMS is a sophisticated yet "user friendly" program that does not require any extensive computer training. In the age of microcomputers, the DBMS provides more power, eliminates seemingly unnecessary and repetitive work with data input, and falls within the budget range of most healthcare institutions.
