INTEGRATED HEALTH INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE

http://www.matrixpublishers.org/images/Integrated%20health%20Information%20Architecture.html

Health Information is increasingly gaining importance as a strategic resource and tool for laying the foundation of any improvement in the public health domain of developing countries.

Besides being of poor quality, very often the available information is not usable or provided in appropriate formats for decision makers, since it is not integrated across health programmes or administrative levels. This book therefore attempts to understand the challenges, both at the technical and institutional levels. It also endeavours to develop a framework that would allow various involved systems to speak with each other, besides providing more power to the users, the basis of integrated and better quality information processes.
