信息是现代化科学管理的依据。美国卫生及人类服务部每年出板《美国卫生状况》一书,发表大量全国性重要卫生信息,对于卫生事业科学管理评价、规划决策有重要贡献。借鉴外国建设卫生信息系统的经验,对改善我国卫生信息系统有一定启示,现将美国卫生信息的来源渠道作简要介绍。 Information is the basis of modern scientific management. Each year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services publishes a book entitled “U.S. Health Status”, which publishes a large number of nationally important health information, and has made important contributions to the scientific management evaluation and planning decisions of health services. Learning from the experience of building health information systems in foreign countries has certain implications for improving China’s health information system. We will now briefly introduce the sources of health information in the United States.
