A framework for organizing health services data is presented that subdivides the spectrum of health information into subgroups that constitute a logical progression from quantifying the burden of illness, through identifying its likely causes, to validating interventions that prevent or ameliorate it and evaluating their efficiency, to monitoring the application of these interventions and coming full-circle to determine whether the burden of illness has been reduced.
本文提出了一个用于组织卫生服务数据的框架，该框架将健康信息范围细分为多个子组，这些子组构成了一个逻辑递进关系：从量化疾病负担，到确定其可能病因，再到验证预防或改善疾病的干预措施并评估其效率，接着监测这些干预措施的应用情况，最后回到起点以确定疾病负担是否减轻。
