Cooperative Information Systems

Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) are technologies that enable different organizations or departments to share and access information seamlessly. They facilitate collaboration by integrating data, processes, and resources, helping teams work together more effectively. For example, in healthcare, a CIS allows hospitals, clinics, and labs to exchange patient information securely, improving care coordination. By promoting cooperation through shared information, CIS enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and support better decision-making across multiple entities.
