Abstract
The authors introduce the Population Health Information System, its co nceptual framework, and the data elements required to implement such a system in other jurisdictions. Among other innovations, the Populatio n Health Information System distinguishes between indicators of health status (outcomes measures) and indicators of need for health care (so cioeconomic measures of risk for poor health). The system also can be used to perform needs-based planning and challenge delivery patterns.
