Development of information resources will lead to changes in the role of managers in decision making, and they are always required to be able to obtain the most accurate information, and the current can be used in the decision-making process. An information system is a combination of work procedures, information, people, and information technology organized to achieve objectives within an organization by providing information for decision makers. In which every manager must manage all information resources effectively and efficiently as possible Because information has Become one of the resources that must be managed properly. The purpose of this research is to find out information about a company's systems, information resources planning and systems of information on information resources can be used to control information management. By limiting the scope of the discussion addressed only Reviews those elements of information systems and information systems role, approach to strategic planning information resources and information systems models of information resources. The results of the study noted that information is an integral part of the (human and equipment) that work together to carry out the processing of the information from the beginning of the collection, processing, storage and distribution, where managers need information before taking a decision. Information is one of the resources that it needs a lot of report manager. With the use of or display of information to reflect the company's physical condition and information resources are managed by the CIO (Chief Information Officer), as manager of information services expertise in solving problems related to sources of information as well as other areas of company operations. The benefit of the company's strategic planning information can find out the important factors needed to develop information systems that are aligned with the corporate strategy since it as well as other resources, the which should be available in all the required information, resources must Also be available when required. So that the necessary information is always available, we need a system that will serve to provide information necessary.

Historically, the focus of IT infrastructure has been to capture the knowledge of experts in a centralized repository (Davenport & Prusak, 1998; Grover & Davenport, 2001). These centralized databases contained knowledge that was explicit and historical (e.g., competitor pricing, market share), and the IT infrastructure served to facilitate functional decision-making or to automate routine tasks (i.e., in re-engineering). The users of technology approached the repository to obtain data in a narrowly defined domain (Broadbent et al. 1999). Consequently, IT originally played a significant yet ultimately limited role in the strategy creation process. Management information systems (MIS) arguably generated information that was less applicable to strategy creation, as noted in early writings on the linkage between MIS and strategic planning (Holmes, 1985; Lientz & Chen, 1981; Shank et al., 1985).

The challenge of transforming data and information in enterprise information systems into knowledge that can be rolled up and presented to management as key performance indicators is business-critical. The implementation of a business intelligence layer on top of the transaction processing systems and management information systems is viewed as an opportunity to move up a level to promote knowledge-based decision-making and strategic planning. This chapter attempts to examine the issues and challenges associated with the initiative by Abu Dhabi Finance to implement business intelligence solutions that extract information from the enterprise information systems, present them as KPIs for senior management, and produce knowledge that can be used to support decision-making and strategic planning.

The distinctive quality of the new social structure is that information becomes the only factor of production. In today's organizations, public administrators are directly responsible for applying information to administrative processes. In addition to his managerial responsibilities, a knowledge based organization requires every employee to take responsibility for achieving efficiency. This has increased the importance of information systems in the decision-making process. Information systems consist of computer and communication technology, data base management and model management and include activity processing system, management information system, decision support systems, senior management information system, expert systems and office automation systems. Information systems in the health sector aim at the management and provision of preventive and curative health services. The use of information systems in healthcare has the benefits of increasing service quality, shortening treatment processes, maximizing efficiency of the time, labour and medical devices. The use of information systems for clinical decision making and reducing medical errors in the healthcare industry dates back to the 1960s. Clinical information systems involve processing, storing and re-accessing information that supports patient care in a hospital. Clinical information systems are systems that are directly or indirectly related to patient care. These systems include electronic health/patient records, clinical decision support systems, nurse information systems, patient tracking systems, tele-medicine, case mix and smart card applications. Diagnosis-treatment systems are information-based systems used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. It consists of laboratory information systems, picture archiving and communication system, pharmacy information system, radiology information system, nuclear medicine information system. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health information system applications in Turkey. The first part of the study focuses on the concept of information systems and the types of information systems in organization structures. In the second part, clinical information systems and applications for diagnosis-treatment systems in Turkey are examined. Finally, the study evaluates applications in the health sector qualitatively from the new organizational structure, which is formed by information systems.
