A Stronger Health Information System Means a Healthier Country Abstract:

This poster illustrates how the quality and availability of health data can improve health outcomes. The illustration depicts a health system with only limited data function and what kinds of capabilities that health system would possess. It then shows what additional functions might be possible for a health system that had additional data at hand; and, finally, what kinds of health questions and trends could be identified with still more available and robust data.
