title: [Medical informatics (hospital information systems) in neonatology: reality and insufficiencies].
abstract: The generalized implementation in France of hospital information systems (HIS) is often considered by the medical practitioners as a useless constraint. Nevertheless, they are now largely used by the administrative authorities for their economical evaluation of medical care. In neonatology HIS is applied to the hospitalized sick neonates as well as to the healthy newborn infants during their maternity hospital stay with their mother following birth. This paper focuses on the practical aspects and difficulties of the current French HIS in neonatology.
