Public health plays a critical role in forming the building blocks for community or regional health-information sharing, which is essential to the long-term viability of a Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) and the Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs). By contributing to its visions, policies, processes, standards, and needs/requirements, public health will close the loop within an NHIN and the RHIOs environment. In this article we illustrate public health's essential role in an NHIN and the RHIOs by examining the mutual benefits to healthcare and public health.
公共卫生在构建社区或区域健康信息共享的基础方面发挥着关键作用，这对于全国健康信息网络（NHIN）和区域健康信息组织（RHIOs）的长期生存能力至关重要。通过为其愿景、政策、流程、标准以及需求做出贡献，公共卫生将在NHIN和RHIOs环境中形成一个闭环。在本文中，我们通过审视医疗保健与公共卫生的互利之处，阐述公共卫生在NHIN和RHIOs中的重要作用。
