The purpose of this paper is to promote expansion of population-based information systems to enhance primary healthcare renewal (PHC) across Canada. The vision is to ensure that healthcare policy makers, managers and clinical leaders receive relevant, valid and timely information that is useful to them in exercising their responsibilities in accountability and performance improvement. The paper sketches a roadmap of options for new information systems and describes the opportunities and limitations associated with each. The intent is to offer an array of alternatives for consideration because jurisdictions vary in their vision and objectives for renewal and priorities for information.
本文的目的是推动基于人群的信息系统的扩展,以加强加拿大各地的初级医疗保健更新(PHC)。愿景是确保医疗保健政策制定者、管理者和临床领导者获得相关、有效且及时的信息,这些信息对他们履行问责制和绩效改进职责有用。本文勾勒了新信息系统的选项路线图,并描述了与每个选项相关的机遇和局限性。目的是提供一系列可供考虑的替代方案,因为不同司法管辖区在更新愿景和目标以及信息优先事项方面存在差异。
