Point-of-care (bedside) clinical information systems can fulfill a variety of functions. Included in these functions are: becoming receptacles for patient data and allowing data to be manipulated into formats that facilitate clinical decision making; functioning as sources for billing and auditing processes; interfacing to other hospital systems and bringing distant data to the bedside; and being a repository for information used in the development of hierarchical and/or relational databases. The initial and ongoing development of these systems in a dynamic clinical environment requires the construction of processes and work pathways to ensure that the needs and requirements of myriad personnel, departments and agencies within the health center milieu are addressed.
床旁临床信息系统可实现多种功能。这些功能包括：作为患者数据的存储库，使数据能够被处理成便于临床决策的格式；作为计费和审计流程的数据源；与其他医院系统连接，将远程数据带到床边；以及作为用于构建分层和/或关系数据库的信息存储库。在动态临床环境中对这些系统进行初始和持续开发，需要构建流程和工作路径，以确保满足健康中心环境中众多人员、部门和机构的需求。
