As the focus of UK health care moves towards the achievement of health gain, information on health outcomes is required by health care commissioners and providers in order to bring about improved patient outcomes. The information required includes health care activity and population data, and textual and bibliographic information to identify published outcomes studies and current health outcomes activities. A survey of enquiries received by the UK Clearing House on Health Outcomes was undertaken to ascertain the nature and level of enquiries, and their geographical and organizational origins in the UK. The study cannot claim to be a comprehensive review of the demand for and use of health outcomes information. What it does illustrate is the still developmental stage of health outcomes activity in the UK. Providers are the major group of users of outcomes information. The potential impact of health outcomes information on health care commissioning has yet to be realized.
随着英国医疗保健的重点转向实现健康改善，医疗保健专员和提供者需要有关健康结果的信息，以改善患者的治疗效果。所需信息包括医疗保健活动和人口数据，以及用于识别已发表的结果研究和当前健康结果活动的文本和书目信息。对英国健康结果信息中心收到的咨询进行了一项调查，以确定咨询的性质和水平，以及它们在英国的地理和组织来源。该研究不能声称是对健康结果信息的需求和使用的全面审查。它所说明的是英国健康结果活动仍处于发展阶段。提供者是结果信息的主要用户群体。健康结果信息对医疗保健委托的潜在影响尚未实现。
