New National Healthcare Information System
-
Walter Bergamaschi
Abstract
Currently the increased healthcare needs of the population call for strategic planning that provides tools to balance the costs of the system with the quality of services offered. The first requirement for this end is reliable, timely and comparable data. Therefore, a New Health Information System (NSIS) is needed that will contribute to achieving this goal.
