The developments in outcomes research and community health information systems are pursuing essentially parallel courses in this country, and yet integrating the lessons from each other could yield more informed health policy decisions. This article provides the linkage between these two developing fields, discusses indicators of community health, describes several approximations to an outcomes-based community health information system in this country, and specifies a model (POPULIS) of such a system from Canada. Although POPULIS can serve as a prototype for health policy decision making, the outcomes-based community health information system, which can be constructed in this country, is constrained by the pluralistic system of health care we have and the lack of any centralized planning about health.
在这个国家，结果研究和社区健康信息系统的发展基本上是并行的，然而相互借鉴经验可以做出更明智的卫生政策决策。本文建立了这两个发展领域之间的联系，讨论了社区健康指标，描述了该国基于结果的社区健康信息系统的几种近似形式，并详细说明了一个来自加拿大的此类系统模型（POPULIS）。尽管POPULIS可以作为卫生政策决策的原型，但在该国构建的基于结果的社区健康信息系统受到我们多元的医疗保健体系以及缺乏任何关于健康的集中规划的限制。
